Why do the elements of the same group have similar properties ?

1 answer:

8 0

They have similar atomic structures. They do similar things. sorry I cant think of a by-the-book answer at the moment but that's pretty much it.

Why can iron be broken down into atoms, but water can only be broken down to molecules?

rodikova [14]

Iron is matter; since the smallest unit of matter is atoms, iron could be brokolen down into atoms. unlike iron, water is a molecule made from atoms that were chemically combined, so water could be broken down into molecules.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{-2043.96 kJ/mol}}$

Explanation:

Assume the reaction is the combustion of propane.

Word equation: propane plus oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water

Chemical eqn: C₃H₈(g) + O₂(g) ⟶ CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Balanced eqn: C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) ⟶ 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g)

(a) Table of enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

$\begin{array}{cc}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{$\Delta_{\text{f}}$H/(kJ/mol}) \\\text{C$_{3}$H$_{8}$(g)} & -103.85 \\\text{O}_{2}\text{(g)} & 0 \\\text{CO}_{2}\text{(g)} & -393.51 \\\text{H$_{2}$O(g)} & -241.82\\\end{array}$

(b)Total enthalpies of reactants and products

$\Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)\\= \text{-2147.81 kJ/mol - (-103.85 kJ/mol)}\\= \text{-2147.81 kJ/mol + 103.85 kJ/mol}\\= \textbf{-2043.96 kJ/mol}\\\text{The enthalpy change is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-2043.96 kJ/mol}}$}$

ΔᵣH° is negative, so the reaction is exothermic.
