Calculate ΔHrxnΔHrxn for the following reaction: 3C(s)+4H2(g)→C3H8(l)3C(s)+4H2(g)→C3H8(l) Use the following reactions and given

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: The $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is -120.9 kJ.

Explanation:

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction follows:

$3C(s)+4H_2(g)\rightarrow C_3H_8(l)$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $C_3H_8(l)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)$ $\Delta H_1=-2026.6kJ$

(2) $C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-393.5kJ$ ( × 3)

(3) $2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-483.5kJ$ ( × 2)

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[1\times (-\Delta H_1)]+[3\times \Delta H_2]+[2\times \Delta H_3]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times -(-2026.6))+(3\times (-393.5))+(2\times (-483.5))]=-120.9kJ$

Hence, the $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is -120.9 kJ.

Nonmetallic elements form ions by _____ valence electrons to complete their outer shell.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer: Non-metals form ions when they gain electrons.

Explanation:

An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.
When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

Metals are the elements which have a tendency to loose electrons and thus they form cations. Example: Sodium will loose 1 electron to form $Na^+$ ion.

Non-metals are the elements which have a tendency to gain electrons and thus they form anions. Example: Fluorine will gain 1 electron to form $F^-$ ion.
