- 407.4 kJ of heat is released.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We have to write the balanced equation as,
2 C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
Here 2 moles of ethane reacts in this reaction.
Now we have to find out the amount of ethane reacted using its given mass and molar mass as,
2 mol C₂H₆ × 30.07 g of C₂H₆ / 1 mol C₂H₆ = 60.14 g of C₂H₆
Heat released = ΔH × given mass / 60.14
= - 1560. 7 kj ×15.7 g / 60. 14 g = -407. 4 kJ
Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!
Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!
I believe it is "empirical formula"
