Many hydrocarbons exist as structural isomers, which are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structures

. For example, both butane and isobutane have the same molecular formula: C4H10- Calculate the mole percent of isobutane in an equilibrium mixture at 25° C, given that the standard Gibbs energy of formation of butane is -15.9 kJ/mol and that of isobutane is -18.0 kJ/mol. Does your result support the notion that straight-chain hydrocarbons (that is, hydrocarbons in which the C atoms are joined in a line) are less stable than branched-chain hydrocarbons?

Answer:

Explanation:

Butane ⇒ Isobutane

ΔG = RT ln K

ΔG = - 18 + 15.9 = - 2.1 kJ / mol

- 2.1 x 10³ = 8.3 x 298 x lnK

lnK = .85

K = 2.33

[ isobutane ] / [ butane ]  = 2.33

isobutane / total mixture = 2.33 / 3.33 = .7

% of isobutane = 70 % .

70% is isobutane and 30 %  butane . Since equilibrium is tilted towards isobutane , it is more stable . Butane is straight chain and isobutane is branched chain compound .

How many moles of O2 are needed to react completely with 35.0 mol C2h2
Wittaler [7]

Hey There!:


2 C2H2 + 5 O2 = 4 CO2 + 2 H2O


2 moles C2H2 ----------- 5 moles O2

35.0 moles C2H2 ------- moles O2


moles O2 = 35.0 * 5 / 2


moles O2 = 87.5 moles


hope this helps!

A weather balloon has a volume of 105L at 0.97 atm when the temperature is 318K. What is the volume
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

89 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Initial pressure (P₁): 0.97 atm
  • Initial volume (V₁): 105 L
  • Initial temperature (T₁): 318 K
  • Final pressure (P₂): 1.05 atm
  • Final volume (V₂): ?
  • Final temperature (T₂): 293 K

Step 2: Calculate the final volume of the weather balloon

If we assume that the gas inside the balloon behaves as an ideal gas, we can calculate the final volume of the gas using the combined gas law.

P₁ × V₁ / T₁ = P₂ × V₂ / T₂

V₂ = P₁ × V₁ × T₂ / T₁ × P₂

V₂ = 0.97 atm × 105 L × 293 K / 318 K × 1.05 atm = 89 L
