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

2O(g), ΔH° = –2044 kJ. How many grams of propane must be reacted by this reaction to release 7563 kJ of heat?

Answer:

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

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: 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)

<u>Step 2: </u>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

<u>Step 3: </u>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

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

A chemical reaction in which an uncombined element replaces an element that is part of a compound is called a simple substitution reaction or simple displacement reaction.

Explanation:

A simple substitution reaction or simple displacement reaction, called single-displacement reaction, is a reaction in which an element of a compound is substituted by another element involved in the reaction. The starting materials are always pure elements and an aqueous compound. And a new pure aqueous compound and a different pure element are generated as products. The general form of a simple substitution reaction is:

AB + C → A +BC

where C and A are pure elements; C replaces A within compound AB to form a new co, placed CB and elementary A.

So, in a Single replacement reaction an uncombined element replaces an element.

The empirical formula of styrene is CH; its molar mass is 104.1 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of styrene?
Natalija [7]
You got the answer correct. If you would double check
given:C (12 g/mol) H (1 g/mol). 

12(8) + 1(8) = 104 g/mol

and for C2H4
12(2)+1(4) = 28g/mol

Also, chemical formula of styrene is<span> C6H5CH=CH2.</span>

Se construye una pila galvánica con una barra de cobre sumergida en una disolución 1M de cationes Fe+2 y una barra de plata sume
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

El potencial celular estándar, E_{cell} is +0.46 V

Explanation:

Las reacciones de media célula son;

Media reacción del ánodo Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ↔ Cu, E ° = 0.34 V

Media reacción catódica 2Ag + 2e⁻ ⁻ 2Ag, E ° = 0.80 V

Sin embargo tenemos para hierro Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ ↔ Fe, E ° -0.44 V

y Fe³⁺ + e⁻ ↔ Fe²⁺, E ° = 0.77 V

 que es más alta que la del cobre presente, por lo tanto, el cobre se oxidará en el ánodo

Por lo tanto, en el ánodo, tendremos

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ (E ° = -0.34 V)

En el cátodo

2Ag + 2e⁻ → 2Ag (E ° = 0.80 V)

E_{cell} = E_c + E_a = -0.34 + 0.8 = +0.46 \, V

El potencial celular estándar, E_{cell} = +0.46 V
