What is the enthalpy of combustion (per mole) of C4H10 (g)? 

Chemistry
2 answers:
Artemon [7]2 years ago
5 0
The balanced chemical reaction for the complete combustion of C4H10 is shown below:

                    C4H10 + (3/2)O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O

The enthalpy of formation are listed below:
          C4H10: -2876.9 kJ/mol
              O2:   none (because it is pure substance)
             CO2: -393.5 kJ/mol
             H2O: -285.8 kJ/mol

The enthalpy of combustion is computed by subtracting the total enthalpy formation of the reactants from that of the products.

               ΔHc = (4)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (5)(-285.8 kJ/mol) - (-2876.9 kJ/mol)
                       = -<em>126.1 kJ</em>

Thus, the enthalpy of combustion of the carbon is -126.1 kJ.

Answer:

Enthalpy of combustion (for 1 mol of butane)=-2657.4 \frac{kJ}{mol}

Explanation:

Combustion is a rapid oxidation chemical process that is accompanied by low energy shedding in the form of heat and light. Oxygen is the essential element for oxidation to occur and is known as a oxidizer. The material that oxidizes and burns is the fuel, and is generally a hydrocarbon, as in this case butane C4H10 (g)

The balanced reaction is:

<em>2 C4H10   +      13 O2       →      8 CO2   +     10H2O </em>

Note that a balanced equation must have the same amount of each atom in the reagents and in the products, as in the previous reaction.

The heat of formation is the increase in enthalpy that occurs in the formation reaction of one mole of a certain compound from the elements in the normal physical state (under standard conditions: at 1 atmosphere of pressure and at 25 degrees of temperature).

In literature you can obtain the following heats of formation of each of the molecules involved in the reaction:

<em>Heat of formation of C4H10 = -125.7 kJ/mol </em>

<em>Heat of formation of water = -241.82 kJ/mol </em>

<em>Heat of formation of CO2 = -393.5 kJ/mol </em>

<em>For the formation of one mole of a pure element the heat of formation is 0, in this case we have as a pure compound the oxygen O2 </em>

You want to calculate the ∆H (heat of reaction) of the combustion reaction, that is, the heat that accompanies the entire reaction. For that you must make the total sum of all the heats of the products and of the reagents affected by their stoichiometric coefficient (quantity of molecules of each compound that participates in the reaction) and finally subtract them:

<em>Enthalpy of combustion = ΔH = ∑Hproducts - ∑Hreactants </em>

<em>                                              = (-393.5X8) + (-241.82X10) - (-125.7X2) </em>

<em>                                              = -5314.8 kJ/mol </em>

But, if you observe the previous balanced reaction, you can see that 2 moles of butane are necessary in combustion. And the calculation of the heat of reaction previously carried out is based on this reaction. This ultimately means that the energy that would result in the combustion of 2 moles of butane is -5314.8 kJ/mol.

Then, applying a rule of three can calculate energy required for the combustion of one mole of butane: if for the combustion of two moles of butane an enthalpy of -5314.8 kJ / mol is required, how much energy is required for the combustion of one mole of butane?

<em>Enthalpy of combustion (for 1 mol of butane)=\frac{-5314.8 \frac{kJ}{mol} }{2} </em>

<u><em>Enthalpy of combustion (for 1 mol of butane)=-2657.4 \frac{kJ}{mol}</em></u>

The length breadth and thickness of a brick is 18cm 8 cm and 5cm respictively find the area of the widest part of rhe brick​
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

144cm²

Explanation:

Given dimensions:

     Length x breadth x thickness

        18cm  x   8cm    x    5cm

The widest part of this figure will be the face containing the length and the breadth.

The breadth is the width of the figure;

Area of the widest part  = length x breadth = 18cm x 8cm  = 144cm

The area of the widest part of the figure is 144cm²

zaharov [31]

Answer:

31.36 Liters

Explanation:

1 mole is equal to 22.4 liters at STP so you can use the equation

1.4 moles * 22.4 liters

to find the volume.

Write a balanced equation for rusting. (Assume rust becomes Fe+2)
Stells [14]

Answer:

4Fe + 3O2 + 6H2O → 4Fe(OH)3

Explanation:

The chemical formula for rust is Fe2O3 and is commonly known as ferric oxide or iron oxide. The final product is a series of chemical reactions simplified below as- The rusting of the iron formula is simply 4Fe + 3O2 + 6H2O → 4Fe(OH)3. The rusting process requires both the elements of oxygen and water.
