Answer : The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole

Explanation :

Standard formation of reaction : It is a chemical reaction that forms one mole of a substance from its constituent elements in their standard states.

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The formation reaction of CH_3OH will be,

C(s)+2H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)    \Delta H_{formation}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)    \Delta H_2=-393.5kJ/mole

(2) H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)    \Delta H_3=-285.8kJ/mole

(3) CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)     \Delta H_1=-726.4kJ/mole

Now we will reverse the reaction 3, multiply reaction 2 by 2 then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)    \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole

(2) 2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)    \Delta H_2=2\times (-285.8kJ/mole)=-571.6kJ/mol

(3) CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g)     \Delta H_3=726.4kJ/mole

The expression for enthalpy of formation of C_2H_4 will be,

\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3

\Delta H=(-393.5kJ/mole)+(-571.6kJ/mole)+(726.4kJ/mole)

\Delta H=-238.7kJ/mole

Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole

39. Analyze What subscripts would you most likely use if
Igoryamba

Based on their valencies, the subscripts of the ionic compounds formed will be:

  • 1 and 1
  • 2 and 1
  • 1 and 2
  • 2 and 2

<h3>What subscripts would you most likely use if the following substances formed an ionic compound?</h3>

A. An alkali metal and a halogen.

An alkali metal and a halogen both have valencies of one.

Therefore the subscripts would be 1.

B. An alkali metal and a non-metal from group 16.

An alkali metal has a valency of 1 and a group 16 non-metal has a valency of 2.

By exchange of valencies, the subscript would be 2 and 1.

C. An alkaline earth metal and a halogen.

An alkaline earth metal has a valency of 2 and a halogen has a valency of 1.

By exchange of valencies, the subscripts would be 1 and 2.

D. An alkaline earth metal and a non-metal from group 16.

An alkaline earth metal has a valency of 2 and a non-metal from group 16 has a valency of 2.

By exchange of valencies, the subscripts would be 2 and 2.

Therefore, the subscripts of the ionic compounds formed will be:

  • 1 and 1
  • 2 and 1
  • 1 and 2
  • 2 and 2

What is the total pressure of three gases, if the partial pressures are: 2.67 mmHg, 45.29 mmHg, and 789.6 mmHg
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The total pressure of three gases is 837.56 mmHg.

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure. So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:

PT = PA + PB

This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.

In this case, the total pressure can be calculated as:

PT= 2.67 mmHg + 45.69 mmHg + 789.6 mmHg

Solving:

PT= 837.56 mmHg

<em><u>The total pressure of three gases is 837.56 mmHg.</u></em>
