Answer:

The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules are pulled closer together.

Explanation:

In solids the packing of the particles is closer and tighter thus increasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes solids rigid with a definite shape, size and volume. On the other hand in liquids the packing of the particles is loose thus decreasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes liquids able to flow, and takes the shape and volume of the container in which they are placed.

Given the following heats of combustion. CH3OH(l) + 3/2 O2(g) CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) ΔH°rxn = -726.4 kJ C(graphite) + O2(g) CO2(g) ΔH

Answer:

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

Explanation:

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,

$C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g), \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole$ ..[1]

$H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l), \Delta H_2=-285.8kJ/mole$ ..[2]

$CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l) , \Delta H_3=-726.4kJ/mole$ ..[3]

Now we will reverse the reaction 3, multiply reaction 2 by 2 then adding all the equations, Using Hess's law:

We get :

$C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g) , \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole$ ..[1]

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

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

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+2\times \Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

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

$\Delta H=-238.7kJ/mole$

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