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.

A student made a graph to show the chemical equilibrium position of a reaction.
pogonyaev

Answer:

Concentration, because the amounts of reactants and products remain constant after equilibrium is reached.

Explanation:

The rate of reaction refers to the amount of reactants converted or products formed per unit time.

As the reaction progresses, reactions are converted into products. This continues until equilibrium is attained in a closed system.

When equilibrium is attained, the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of reverse reaction, hence the concentration of reactants and products in the system remain fairly constant over time.

When deducing the rate of reaction, concentration of the specie of interest is plotted on the y-axis against time on the x-axis.

1. Sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide according to the equation: 2NaOH(s) + CO2(g) →
Leno4ka [110]

The limiting reagent when 5 g of NaOH and 4.4 g CO₂  allowed to react will be NaOH

<h3>What is Limiting reagent ?</h3>

The limiting reactant (or limiting reagent) is the reactant that gets consumed first in a chemical reaction and therefore limits how much product can be formed.

Given chemical equation in balanced form ;

2NaOH(s) + CO₂(g) → Na₂CO₃(s) + H₂O(l).

According to the Chemical equation ;

  • The limiting reagent when 5 g of NaOH and 4.4 g CO₂  allowed to react will be NaOH

    If 44 g CO₂ requires 80 g of NaOH, therefore, 4.4 g CO₂ will require atleast 8 g of NaOH.

    But the available quantity is 5 g NaOH. thus, NaOH is the Limiting reagent.

  • 6.625 g of Na₂CO₃ are expected to be produced 5.0 g of NaOH and 4.4 g of CO₂ are allowed to react

    As 80 g NaOH produces 106 g of Na₂CO₃.

    Therefore 5 g NaoH will produce ;

    106 / 80 x 5 = 6.625 g
