Answer: Enthalpy of combustion (per mole) of C_4H_{10} (g) is -2657.5 kJ

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of butane follows:

2C_4H_{10}(g)+4O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(8\times \Delta H^o_f_{CO_2(g)})+(10\times \Delta H^o_f_{H_2O(g)})]-[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{C_4H_{10}(g)})+(4\times \Delta H^o_f_{O_2(g)})]

We are given:

\Delta H^o_f_{(C_4H_{10}(g))}=-125.6kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(g))}=-241.82kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))}=-393.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(8\times -393.5)+(10\times -241.82)]-[(2\times -125.6)+(4\times 0)]\\\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-5315kJ

Enthalpy of combustion (per mole) of C_4H_{10} (g) is -2657.5 kJ

Determine the type of alcohol corresponding to each given description or name. 1-pentanol 3-ethyl-3-pentanol 2-hexanol An alcoho
pochemuha

Answer:

1). 1-pentanol - <u>Primary</u>

2). 3-ethyl-3-pentanol - <u>Tertiary</u>

3). 2-hexanol - <u>Secondary</u>

4). Alcohol with two other carbons attached to the carbon with the hydroxyl group - <u>Secondary</u>

5). Alcohol with one other carbon attached to the carbon with the hydroxyl group - <u>Primary</u>

6). Alcohol with three other carbons attached to the carbon with the hydroxyl group - <u>Tertiary</u>

Explanation:

The distinct types of alcohol have been matched with the categories above as per their descriptions provided. In chemistry, alcohols have been categorized into three different categories namely primary, secondary, and tertiary.

In the primary type, those alcohols are involved in which there is an association of hydroxyl group to a primary atom of carbon along with a minimum of two atoms of hydrogen. Example; ethanol.

In the secondary type, the alcohols have an association of carbon atoms to hydroxyl with a single atom of hydrogen and has a formula of '-CHROH.' Example: 2 - propanol.

In the tertiary alcohols, here the association is between the hydroxyl group with the carbon atom that is saturated and possessing 3 atoms of carbon associated with it. It has a formula of '-CR2OH.' Example:  3-ethyl-3-pentanol, -tert -butyl alcohol, etc.
