Answer: Molecular mass of the phenol is 94g/mol.
Explanation:
Phenol is an active ingredient in some oral anesthetics used in sore throat sprays.It is used as anesthetics to cure minor sour throat pain , minor mouth irritations etc.
For Example : Cramex , Chloraseptic sprays contains phenol as an active ingredient.
Phenol has a molecular formula of
Molecular mass of the phenol = 6(mass of carbon)+5(mass of hydrogen)+1(mass of oxygen)+1(mass of hydrogen) = 6(12)+5(1)+1(16)+(1) = 94 g/mol
Answer: The standard enthalpy change for this reaction is -116 kJ
Explanation:
According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.
According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.
The given chemical reaction is,
Now we have to determine the value of for the following reaction i.e,
According to the Hess’s law, if we reverse the reaction then the will change its sign and if we half the reaction, then the
So, the value for the reaction will be:
Hence, the standard enthalpy change for this reaction is -116 kJ
