<span>Reaction of ethane combustion:

2C2H6 (g) + 7O2 (g) ----> 4CO2 (g) + 6H2O

According to the reaction, we can see that </span>C2H6 and CO2 have following stoichiometric ratio:

n(C2H6) : n(CO2) = 2 : 4

If we know the number of moles of ethane we can calculate moles of carbon dioxide:

2 x n(CO2) = 4 x n(C2H6)

n(CO2) = 2 x n(C2H6)

n(CO2) = 2 x 5.4 = 10.8 mole of CO2 <span>are produced</span>

A gas mixture with 4 mol of Ar, x moles of Ne, and y moles

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

a) $\Delta G_{mixing}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +x*ln (x/12) +(8-x)*ln ((8-x)/12)]$

b) $x=4$

c) $\Delta G_{max}=-2721.9 J/mol$

Explanation:

Gas mixture:

$n_{Ar}= 4 mol$

$n_{Ne}= x mol$

$n_{Xe}= y mol$

$n_{tot}= n_{Ar} + n_{Ne} + n_{Xe}=3*n_{Ar}$

$n_{Ne} + n_{Xe}=2*n_{Ar}$

$x + y=8 mol$

$y=8 mol- x$

Mol fractions:

$x_{Ar}=\frac{4 mol}{12 mol}=1/3$

$x_{Ne}=\frac{x mol}{12 mol}=x/12$

$x_{Xe}=\frac{8 - x mol}{12 mol}=(8-x)/12$

Expression of $\Delta G_{mixing}$

$\Delta G_{mixing}=R*T*\sum_{i]*x_i*ln (x_i)$

$\Delta G_{mixing}=R*T*[1/3*ln (1/3) +x/12*ln (x/12) +(8-x)/12*ln ((8-x)/12)]$

$\Delta G_{mixing}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +x*ln (x/12) +(8-x)*ln ((8-x)/12)]$

Expression of $\Delta G_{max}$

$\frac{d \Delta G_{mixing}}{dx}=0$

$\frac{d \Delta G_{mixing}}{dx}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[ln (x/12)+12-ln ((8-x)/12)-12]$

$0=\frac{R*T}{12}*[ln (x/12)-ln ((8-x)/12)$

$0=[ln (x/12)-ln ((8-x)/12)$

$ln (x/12)=ln ((8-x)/12)$

$x=(8-x)$

$x=4$

$\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +4*ln (4/12) +(8-4)*ln ((8-4)/12)]$

$\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +4*ln (1/3) +(4)*ln (1/3)]$

$\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[12*ln (1/3)]$

$\Delta G_{max}=-2721.9 J/mol$
