Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

2C4H10 + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O

Explanation:

2C4H10 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

There are 8 carbon atoms on the left side of the equation thus , there should be equal number of carbon atoms on the right side

So, if we balance carbon atoms only, the new eqation becomes

2C4H10 + O2 → 8CO2 + H2O

Now carbon atoms are balance but there are 20 , hydrogen atoms on the left side but 2 atoms only on the right side. So the new equation after balancing hydrogen atom becomes

2C4H10 + O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O

Now both carbon and hydrogen atoms are balanced but oxygen atoms are pending. There are 26 atoms of (O) on the right side , while 1 molecule of (O2)

So the balanced equation would be  

2C4H10 + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O

Calculate the theoretical yield of iron(III) oxide expected for this reaction if 0.50 mol of iron is reacted with excess oxygen
a_sh-v [17]
When you are dealing with mole calculations, whatever you do to one side of the equation you must also do to the other. .5Fe is 1/8th of 4Fe, so in order to determine what it will yield you must divide the given amount of Fe2O3 and divide THAT by 1/8th, leaving you with .25 mol of Fe2O3.

Butane C4H10 (g),(Hf = –125.7), combusts in the presence of oxygen to form CO2 (g) (Delta.Hf = –393.5 kJ/mol), and H2O(g) (Delta
shusha [124]

Answer: The enthalpy of combustion, per mole, of butane is -2657.4 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2C_4H_{10}(g)+13O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)

The expression for enthalpy change is,

\Delta H=[n\times H_f_{products}]-[n\times H_f_{reactants}]

Putting the values we get :

\Delta H=[8\times H_f_{CO_2}+10\times H_f_{H_2O}]-[2\times H_f_{C_4H_{10}+13\times H_f_{O_2}}]

\Delta H=[(8\times -393.5)+(10\times -241.82)]-[(2\times -125.7)+(13\times 0)]

\Delta H=-5314.8kJ

2 moles of butane releases heat = 5314.8 kJ

1 mole of butane release heat = \frac{5314.8}{2}\times 1=2657.4kJ

Thus enthalpy of combustion per mole of butane is -2657.4 kJ
