How many moles of carbon in 130g of C2H6

-BARSIC- [3]

7.22 moles of C2H6. Since there are 2 carbon atoms per C2H6, we must multiply the number of moles of C2H6 by 2 to get the number of moles of Carbon which is 14.4 or 14 if using two sig figs.

The heat released by one mole of sugar from a bomb calorimeter experiment is 5648 kJ/mol. The balanced chemical reaction equatio

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter C) 5648 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Data

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + 12 O₂ ⇒ 12 CO₂ + 11 H₂O

H° C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ = -2221.8 kJ/mol

H° O₂ = 0 kJ / mol

H° CO₂ = -393.5 kJ/mol

H° H₂O = -285.8 kJ/mol

Formula

ΔH° = ∑H° products - ∑H° reactants

Substitution

ΔH° = 12(-393.5) + 11(-285.8) - (-2221.8) - (0)

ΔH° = -4722 - 3143.8 + 2221.8

Result

ΔH° = -5644 kJ/mol

The enthalpy of combustion of naphthalene (MW = 128.17 g/mol) is -5139.6 kJ/mol. How much energy is produced by burning 0.8210 g

bazaltina [42]

The energy produced by burning : -32.92 kJ

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Delta H reaction (ΔH) is the amount of heat change between the system and its environment

(ΔH) can be positive (endothermic = requires heat) or negative (exothermic = releasing heat)

The enthalpy and heat(energy) can be formulated :

$\tt \Delta H=\dfrac{Q}{n}\rightarrow n=mol$

The enthalpy of combustion of naphthalene (MW = 128.17 g/mol) is -5139.6 kJ/mol.

The energy released for 0.8210 g of naphthalene :

$\tt Q=\Delta H\times n\\\\Q=-5139.6~kJ/mol\times \dfrac{0.8210~g}{128.17~g/mol}~\\\\Q=-32.92~kJ$
