Which of the following chemical bonds have the lowest potential energy?

Isotopes of carbon differ with the respect to the number of

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes can be defined as the atom of an element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. This ultimately implies that, the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic mass (number of nucleons).

The isotope of an element is denoted by $X^{A}_{Z}$

Where; X is the symbol of the element.

A is the atomic mass or number of nucleons.

Z is the atomic number or number of protons.

Therefore, the number of neutrons = A - Z

Isotopes of carbon differ with respect to the number of neutrons.

Basically, there are three (3) Isotopes of Carbon and these are;

1. Carbon-12: it has an atomic mass of 12 with 6 numbers of proton and neutron respectively.

2. Carbon-13: it has an atomic mass of 13 with 6 numbers of proton and 7 numbers of neutron.

3. Carbon-14: it has an atomic mass of 14 with 6 numbers of proton and 8 numbers of neutron.

Propane is often used to heat homes. The combustion of propane follows the following reaction: C3H8(g) + 5O2(g)  3CO2 (g) + 4H

Answer:

To release 7563 kJ of heat, we need to burn 163.17 grams of propane

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

C3H8 + 5O2 -----------> 3CO2 + 4H2O ΔH° = –2044 kJ

This means every mole C3H8

Every mole of C3H8 produces 2044 kJ of heat when it burns (ΔH° is negative because it's an exothermic reaction)

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles to produce 7563 kJ of heat

1 mol = 2044 kJ

x mol = 7563 kJ

x = 7563/2044 = 3.70 moles

To produce 7563 kJ of heat we have to burn 3.70 moles of C3H8

Step 3: Calculate mass of propane

Mass propane = moles * Molar mass

Mass propane = 3.70 moles * 44.1 g/mol

Mass propane = 163.17 grams

To release 7563 kJ of heat, we need to burn 163.17 grams of propane
