1) The heat of combustion for the gases hydrogen, methane and ethane are −285.8, −890.4 and −1559.9 kJ/mol respectively at 298K.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The enthalpy of the reaction is 64.9 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

$H_2 + \frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow H_2O,\Delta H_1 =-285.8 kJ$ ..[1]

$CH_4 + 2O_2\rightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O,\Delta H_2 =-890.4 kJ$ ..[2]

$C_2H_6 + \frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2 + 3H_2O,\Delta H_3= -1559.9 kJ$ ..[3]

$2CH_4(g)\rightarrow C_2H_6(g) + H_2(g),\Delta H_4=?$ ..[4]

2 × [2] - [1]- [3] = [4] (Using Hess's law)

$\Delta H_4=2\times \Delta H_2 -\Delta H_1 -\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H_4=2\times (-890.4 kJ)-(-285.8 kJ) -(-1559.9 kJ)$

$\Delta H_4=64.9 kJ/mol$

The enthalpy of the reaction is 64.9 kJ/mol.

the volume of a substance must be measured several time during an experiment. which units should be used to measure the volume o

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Volume is often measured numerically using the International System of Units (SI unit), the cubic meter. for example volume of a cube is measured using a cubic centimeter (cm3), the metric system includes the liter (L) as a unit of volume, where one liter is the volume of a 10-centimeter cube.

A large balloon is initially filled to a volume of 25.0 L at 353 K and a pressure of 2575 mm Hg. What volume of gas will the bal

bija089 [108]

Answer:

45.0 L is the volume of gas will the balloon contain at 1.35 atm and 253 K.

Explanation:

Using Ideal gas equation for same mole of gas as

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

Given ,

V₁ = 25.0 L

V₂ = ?

P₁ = 2575 mm Hg

Also, P (atm) = P (mm Hg) / 760

P₁ = 2575 / 760 atm = 3.39 atm

P₂ = 1.35 atm

T₁ = 353 K

T₂ = 253 K

Using above equation as:

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

$\frac{{3.39}\times {25.0}}{353}=\frac{{1.35}\times {V_2}}{253}$

$\frac{1.35V_2}{253}=\frac{3.39\times \:25}{353}$

Solving for V₂ , we get:

45.0 L is the volume of gas will the balloon contain at 1.35 atm and 253 K.

Calculate the bond energy per mole for breaking all the bonds in methane, CH4. Express your answer to four significant figures a

lesantik [10]

The energy that is essential to break one C-H bond is 414 kJ/mol. Since, there are four C-H bonds in CH4, the energy Δ HCH4 for breaking all the bonds is calculated as Δ HCH4 = 4 x bond energy of C-H bond. By multiplying the 4 with the 414 kJ/mol you can get the answer of 1656 kJ/mol CH4 molecules.
