Given the values of ΔGfo given below in kJ/mol, calculate the value of ΔGo in kJ for the combustion of 1 mole of butane to form

carbon dioxide and liquid water. ΔGfo (C4H10(g)) = -17 ΔGfo (CO2(g)) = -395 ΔGfo (H2O(l)) = -238

Answer:

Δ_rG=-2753kJ

Explanation:

Hello,

Butane's combustion is:

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2} O_2-->4CO_2+5H_2O

Now the change in the Gibbs free energy for this reaction is computed via (don't forget that oxygen's Gibbs free energy of formation is 0 since it is an element):

Δ_rG=4Δ_fG_{CO_2}+5Δ_fG_{H_2O}-Δ_fG_{C_4H_{10}}

Δ_rG=4(-395kJ/mol)+5(-238kJ/mol)-(-17kJ/mol)

Δ_rG=-2753kJ/mol

Now, since the calculation is done for 1 mol of butane, the change in the Gibbs free energy for this fuel is:

Δ_rG=-2753kJ

Best regards.

The ksp of pbi2 is 1.4 x 10-8. what is the molar solubility of lead(ii iodide in a solution of 0.400 m sodium iodide?
tino4ka555 [31]
The solubility product of a substance us calculated by the product of the concentration of the dissociated ions in the solution raise to the stoichiometric coefficient of the ions. Therefore, we need the dissociation reaction. For this, it will have the reaction:

PbI2 = Pb^2+ + 2I-

We solve as follows:

Ksp = [Pb2+][I-]^2 = <span>1.4 x 10-8
</span><span>1.4 x 10-8 = x(2x)^2
</span><span>1.4 x 10-8 = 4x^3
x = 1.5x10^-3 M

The molar solubility would be </span>1.5x10^-3 M.

1. Why is carbon dioxide a gas at low temperatures at mars
wlad13 [49]

1. carbon dioxide is a gas at low temperatures at mars because in the oxidizing environment organic compounds are oxidized to form carbon dioxide.

2. The 1 electron in outermost shell of Na is shared with 7 electrons of outermost shell of chlorine giving neutral charge on compound.

3. Electrostatic force of attraction is between the metal and non-metal.

4. When metal and non metal exchange electrons to form a neutral or no charge compound it is said to have form ionic bonds.

Explanation:

1. Temperature at Mars is very low -80 Fahrenheit  (-60 degrees) because water is not present in the planet. Carbon dioxide is abundant in Mars. The atmosphere is oxidizing at Mars which oxidizes the organic compounds and forms carbon dioxide.

2. NaCl combines by sharing of electrons forming ionic bonding. Different atoms of the different element share electrons to form ionic bonds. Such bond is formed when electrons is transferred between the atoms. In the NaCl, Na has 1 electron (electropositive) in its outer shell and chlorine has 7 electrons (electronegative). Both share the electrons getting their octet complete and a neutral charge on the compound formed.

3. Electrostatic force of attraction is between the metal and non-metal when bond is formed. The ionic bonds is formed between metal and non metals when electron exchange takes place. The electrostatic force is the attraction between two opposite charges on the ion.

4. When a metal and non metal exchange electrons in which metal is electropositive and non metal is electronegative the bonds form is called ionic bond. The electron is transferred from metal to non metal and thus giving neutral charge on the compound i.e. the outer shell has its octet complete.
