Answer :

There are three processes involved in the conversion of ethane to ethanoic acid.

In first process, on the chlorination of the ethane in the presence of the sunlight or in the presence of U.V light, ethane converted into ethyl chloride.

In the second process, ethyl chloride react with the aqueous potassium hydroxide to give ethanol.

In the third process, ethanol react with an oxidizing agent (Alkaline potassium permanganate) to give ethanoic acid.

The reaction are shown below.

Ethane can be turned into its carboxylic acid form called the ethanoic acid by a series of steps. First chlirinate it in the presence of light. Then, add potassium hydroxide to get an alcohol. Finally, adding KMnO4 to oxidize it to a carboxylic acid. The equations are as follows:
C2H6 + Cl2  ---> C2H5Cl + HCl
C2H5Cl+KOH-> C2H5OH+ KCl.
C2H5OH  ----KMnO4 ---> CH3COOH.

Answer:

Hydrogen: -141 kJ/g

Methane: -55kJ/g

The energy released per gram of hydrogen in its combustion is higher than the energy released per gram of methane in its combustion.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of the energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion and the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter is zero.

Qc + Qb = 0

Qc = -Qb  [1]

We can calculate the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter using the following expression.

Q = C . ΔT

where,

C is the heat capacity

ΔT is the change in the temperature

<h3>Hydrogen</h3>

Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (14.3°C) = -162 kJ

The heat released per gram of hydrogen is:

\frac{-162kJ}{1.15g} =-141 kJ/g

<h3>Methane</h3>

Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (7.3°C) = -82 kJ

The heat released per gram of methane is:

\frac{-82kJ}{1.50g} =-55kJ/g
