This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.
The change in internal energy for the combustion of 1.0 mol of octane at a pressure of 1.0 atm is -5084.1 kJ. You may want to reference (Pages 381 - 385) Section 9.6 while completing this problem. If the change in enthalpy is -5074.2 kJ, how much work is done during the combustion? Express the work in kilojoules to three significant figures.
Answer : The work done during the combustion is, 9.9 kJ
Explanation :
Formula used :
where,
w = work done = ?
= change in enthalpy = -5074.2 kJ
= change in internal energy = -5084.1 kJ
R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Thus, the work done during the combustion is, 9.9 kJ

Explanation: This is a reaction of oxidation of in the presence of acidified
. Acidified
is a strong oxidizing agent.
To balance out the on the reactant side, we write
on the product side.
Balancing out the following reaction gives us:
N₂ : limiting reactant
H₂ : excess reactant
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Given
mass of N₂ = 100 g
mass of H₂ = 100 g
Required
Limiting reactant
Excess reactant
Solution
Reaction
<em>N₂+3H₂⇒2NH₃</em>
mol N₂(MW=28 g/mol) :
mol H₂(MW= 2 g/mol) :
A method that can be used to find limiting reactants is to divide the number of moles of known substances by their respective coefficients, and small or exhausted reactans become a limiting reactants
From the equation, mol ratio N₂ : H₂ = 1 : 3, so :
N₂ becomes a limiting reactant (smaller ratio) and H₂ is the excess reactant
