6+2=115 and its good it took test
The oxidation half reaction of the reaction given above would be: Ca → Ca + 2e−. Oxidation is the loss of electrons of an element while its counterpart is called the reduction which gains the electrons that has been lost. Hope this answers the question.
The balanced chemical reaction for the complete combustion of C4H10 is shown below:
C4H10 + (3/2)O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O
The enthalpy of formation are listed below:
C4H10: -2876.9 kJ/mol
O2: none (because it is pure substance)
CO2: -393.5 kJ/mol
H2O: -285.8 kJ/mol
The enthalpy of combustion is computed by subtracting the total enthalpy formation of the reactants from that of the products.
ΔHc = (4)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (5)(-285.8 kJ/mol) - (-2876.9 kJ/mol)
= -<em>126.1 kJ</em>
Thus, the enthalpy of combustion of the carbon is -126.1 kJ.
