Answer:

<u>For methanol:</u> Heat of combustion = -22.6 kJ / 0.0312 moles = -724.3590 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

<u>For ethanol: </u>Heat of combustion = -29.7 kJ / 0.0217 moles = -1368.6636 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

<u>For propanol: </u>Heat of combustion = -33.4 kJ / 0.0166 moles = -2012.0482 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Methanol = 1.0 g

Mass of ethanol = 1.00 g

Mass of n-propanol = 1.00 g

<u>For methanol:</u>

2 CH₃OH + 3 O₂ ----> 2 CO₂ + 4 H₂O, ∆H₀ = -22.6 kJ/g  (negative sign signifies release of heat)

1 g of methanol on combustion gives 22.6 kJ of energy

Calculation of moles of methanol:

moles=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molar\ mass (M)}

Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol

Thus moles of methanol = 1 g/ (32.04 g/mol) = 0.0312 moles

Hence energy in kJ/mol:

<u>Heat of combustion = -22.6 kJ / 0.0312 moles = -724.3590 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)</u>

<u></u>

<u>For ethanol:</u>

C₂H₅OH + 3 O₂ ----> 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O, ∆H₀ = -29.7 kJ/g  (negative sign signifies release of heat)

1 g of ethanol on combustion gives 29.7 kJ of energy

Calculation of moles of ethanol:

moles=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molar\ mass (M)}

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Thus moles of ethanol = 1 g/ (46.07 g/mol) = 0.0217 moles

Hence energy in kJ/mol:

<u>Heat of combustion = -29.7 kJ / 0.0217 moles = -1368.6636 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)</u>

<u></u>

<u>For propanol:</u>

2 C₃H₇OH + 9 O₂ ----> 6 CO₂ + 8 H₂O, ∆H₀ = -33.4 kJ/g , (negative sign signifies release of heat)

1 g of methanol on combustion gives 33.4 kJ of energy

Calculation of moles of methanol:

moles=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molar\ mass (M)}

Molar mass of methanol = 60.09 g/mol

Thus moles of methanol = 1 g/ (60.09 g/mol) = 0.0166 moles

Hence energy in kJ/mol:

<u>Heat of combustion = -33.4 kJ / 0.0166 moles = -2012.0482 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)</u>

Day and night is due to the earth rotating. Seasons are due to the earth rotating on a slightly tilted axis, causing light to be shone on different parts of the earth more directly during different parts of the year. Constellations changing throughout the night are because of the earth moving and rotating. Throughout the year, the earth moves, causing us to be facing different directions in different parts of the year. The North Star does't move because it is close to Earth's line of axis, and therefore does not appear to move.
