Fireworks owe their colors to reactions of combustion of the metals present. When Mg and Al burn, they emit a white bright light, whereas iron emits a gold light. Besides metals, oxygen is necesary for the combustion. The decomposition reactions of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate provide this element. At the same time, barium can burn emitting a green light.

(a) Barium nitrate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> barium Ba²⁺ and the <em>anion</em> nitrate NO₃⁻. Its formula is Ba(NO₃)₂. Potassium chlorate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> potassium K⁺ and the <em>anion</em> chlorate ClO₃⁻. Its formula is KClO₃.

(b) The balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chloride is:

2KClO₃(s) ⇄ 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

(c)  The balanced equation for the decomposition of barium nitrate is:

Ba(NO₃)₂(s) ⇄ BaO(s) + N₂(g) + 3O₂(g)

(d) The balanced equations of metals with oxygen to form metal oxides are:

  • 2 Mg(s) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 MgO(s)
  • 4 Al(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Al₂O₃(s)
  • 4 Fe(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Fe₂O₃(s)

What is the enthalpy of combustion when 1 mol C6H6(g) completely reacts with oxygen? 2C6H6(g) 15O2(g) mc001-1. Jpg 12CO2(g) 6H2O
Andrei [34K]

The enthalpy of combustion of 1 mole of benzene is 3169 kJ/mol .

The first step in answering this question is to obtain the balanced thermochemical equation of the reaction. The thermochemical equation shows the amount of heat lost or gained.

The thermochemical equation for the combustion of benzene is;

2 C6H6(l) + 15 O2(g) → 12 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g) ΔrH° = -3169 kJ/mol

We can see that 1 mole of benzene releases about 3169 kJ/mol of heat.
