Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{-2043.96 kJ/mol}}$

Explanation:

Assume the reaction is the combustion of propane.

Word equation: propane plus oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water

Chemical eqn: C₃H₈(g) + O₂(g) ⟶ CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Balanced eqn: C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) ⟶ 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g)

(a) Table of enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

$\begin{array}{cc}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{$\Delta_{\text{f}}$H/(kJ/mol}) \\\text{C$_{3}$H$_{8}$(g)} & -103.85 \\\text{O}_{2}\text{(g)} & 0 \\\text{CO}_{2}\text{(g)} & -393.51 \\\text{H$_{2}$O(g)} & -241.82\\\end{array}$

(b)Total enthalpies of reactants and products

$\Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)\\= \text{-2147.81 kJ/mol - (-103.85 kJ/mol)}\\= \text{-2147.81 kJ/mol + 103.85 kJ/mol}\\= \textbf{-2043.96 kJ/mol}\\\text{The enthalpy change is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-2043.96 kJ/mol}}$}$

ΔᵣH° is negative, so the reaction is exothermic.

Alexxandr [17]

This is a decomposition reaction, where ammonium nitrate is heated and decomposed to gaseous water and dinitrogen oxide.
Formulas for reactants and products with states are as follows;
ammonium nitrate - NH₄NO₃ (s)
water - H₂O (g)
dinitrogen oxide - N₂O (g)
balanced reactions when the masses of both sides of the equation must be balanced

Balanced chemical equation
NH₄NO₃(s) ---> 2H₂O(g) + N₂O(g)

In the electron cloud model, the electron cloud is denser in some locations than in others.

Sonbull [250]

<span>In the electron cloud model, the denser areas represent that there is a great probability that a good number of electrons are ganged up or crowded in that area. The electrons affect the density of some parts of the electron cloud when they condense in those locations.</span>

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

During photosynthesis SOLAR enerrgy is transformed into CHEMICAL energy.

Explanation:

In nutrition, green plants manufactures their own food which they use for both energy and growth. This is called an autotrophic mode of nutrition.

Therefore, photosynthesis is an autotrophic nutrition in which plant can build sugar by taking carbon dioxide from air and water from the soil. For the synthesis of sugar like glucose, carbon dioxide provides carbon

and oxygen whereas water molecules provide hydrogen. The plant builds sugar molecules from these simple compounds. Enzymes needed for this purpose are present in the cells and energy is trapped by chlorophyll from sunlight. This process is summarised in the equation below:

Sunlight (solar)

6CO2 + 6H2O--------------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

From the equation, Carbon dioxide, water and sunlight (SOLAR energy) is the raw materials needed to produce Glucose and oxygen (CHEMICAL energy) as by products.
