The enthalpy of reaction for the combustion of ethane 2CH₃CH₃ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O calculated from the average bond energies of the compounds is -2860 kJ/mol.

The reaction is:

2CH₃CH₃ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O (1)

The enthalpy of reaction (1) is given by:

$\Delta H = \Delta H_{r} - \Delta H_{p}$ (2)

Where:

r: is for reactants

p: is for products

The bonds of the compounds of reaction (1) are:

2CH₃CH₃: 2 moles of 6 C-H bonds + 2 moles of 1 C-C bond

7O₂: 7 moles of 1 O=O bond

4CO₂: 4 moles of 2 C=O bonds

6H₂O: 6 moles of 2 H-O bonds

Hence, the enthalpy of reaction (1) is (eq 2):

$\Delta H = \Delta H_{r} - \Delta H_{p}$

$\Delta H = 2*\Delta H_{CH_{3}CH_{3}} + 7\Delta H_{O_{2}} - (4*\Delta H_{CO_{2}} + 6*\Delta H_{H_{2}O})$

$\Delta H = 2*(6*\Delta H_{C-H} + \Delta H_{C-C}) + 7\Delta H_{O=O} - (4*2*\Delta H_{C=O} + 6*2*\Delta H_{H-O})$

$\Delta H = [2*(6*413 + 347) + 7*498 - (4*2*799 + 6*2*467)] kJ/mol$

$\Delta H = -2860 kJ/mol$

Therefore, the enthalpy of reaction for the combustion of ethane is -2860 kJ/mol.

I hope it helps you!

What is the mass of oxygen in 3.34 g of potassium permanganate?

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1.35 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

mass of Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄) = 3.34 g

Mass of Oxygen: ?

Solution:

First find the percentage composition of Oxygen in Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄)

So,

Molar Mass of KMnO₄ = 39 + 55 + 4(16)

Molar Mass of KMnO₄ = 158 g/mol

Calculate the mole percent composition of Oxygen in Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄).

Mass contributed by Oxygen (O) = 4 (16) = 64 g

Since the percentage of compound is 100

So,

Percent of Oxygen (O) = 64 / 158 x 100

Percent of Oxygen (O) = 40.5 %

It means that for ever gram of Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄) there is 0.405 g of Oxygen (O) is present.

So,

for the 3.34 grams of Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄) the mass of Oxygen will be

mass of Oxygen (O) = 0.405 x 3.34 g

mass of Oxygen (O) = 1.35 g
