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

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium: mass of Ga-69 isotope is 68.9256 amu and its percentage abundance is 60.11%, let the mass of other isotope that is Ga-71 be X, the percentage abundance can be calculated as:
%Ga-71=100-60.11=39.89%
Atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of its isotopes multiplied by their percentage abundance.
Thus, in this case:
Atomic mass= m(Ga-69)×%(Ga-69)+X×%(Ga-71)
From the periodic table, atomic mass of Ga is 69.723 amu.
Putting the values,
Thus,
Rearranging,
Therefore, mass of Ga-71 isotope is 70.9246 amu.
When a single compound breaks down into two or more compounds or elements in a chemical reaction then it is known as decomposition reaction.
