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

Vinvika [58]

Answer:When a substance undergoes a chemical change some of the chemical changes can be reversed with a chemical change.

Explanation:

A chemical change changes all of the element but some chemical changes but very few can be changed back to its original substance only with a chemical change.

How did atomic theory develop and change?
Agata [3.3K]
The atomic theory started with Democritus, who stated that all space was made up of indivisible particles called atoms, though Aristotles refuted that statement by saying that matter didn’t exist, he believed in the four elements: air, fire, water, and earth. Then came Dalton, who revived Democritus’s ideas and proposed the law of multiple proportions, he revived the idea that all space was made of atoms. Soon after, J.J Thompson discovered the electron by using cathode rays. Max Planck developed the quantum theory by stating that electromagnetic radiation could only be emitted in quantized form (later called quanta). Einstein furthered this idea with studies of light. Robert Millikan eventually measured the charge of a single electron. Ernest Rutherford used a gold foil experiment and discovered the nuclei, considering his alpha particles were deflected by some object. Niels Bohr made the atomic model with electrons spinning around an atom’s nucleus, Erwin Schrodinger describes how electrons have wave like properties. James Chadwick then discovers the neutron!
