Answer:

11.45kcal/g

2.612 × 10³ kcal

Explanation:

When a compound burns (combustion) it produces carbon dioxide and water. The combustion of 2-methylheptane can be represented by the following balanced equation:

2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ ⇄ 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O

It releases  1.306 × 10³ kcal every 1 mol of C₈H₁₈ that is burned.

<em>What is the heat of combustion for 2-methylheptane in kcal/gram?</em>

We know that the molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.0g/mol. Then, using proportions:

\frac{1.306 \times 10^{3}Kcal}{1mol} .\frac{1mol}{114.0g} =11.45kcal/g

<em>How much heat will be given off if molar quantities of 2-methylheptane react according to the following equation? 2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ ⇄ 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O</em>

In this equation we have 2 moles of C₈H₁₈. So,

2mol \times\frac{1.306 \times 10^{3}kcal }{1mol} =2.612\times 10^{3}kcal

(a) Write the reaction for the overall oxidation of propane (C3H8) with oxygen to produce CO2 and water.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Oxidation is the loss of electrons, that is, addition of electronegetive elements, example is addition of oxygen. Also, removal of electropositive elements, example is removal of hydrogen.

Explanation: a) In the presence of excess oxygen, propane burns in air, which gives the following chemical equation:

C3H8 + 5O2⇒ 3CO2 + 4H2O +Heat

b) When insufficient oxygen or too much oxygen is present for complete combustion, the following equation is given:

2C3H8 + 9O2 ⇒ 4CO2 + 2CO + 8H2O + Heat

c) At the anode( negative terminal): O∧2- ⇒ O + e

Oxygen accepts electron.

d) At cathode ( positive terminal): H∧+ + e∧- ⇒ H

Hydrogen donates electron

d) Nernst equation for reversal potential is given as follows:

E= RT/zF  In{ion outside cell}/{ion inside cell}= 2.303 RT/zF In{ion outside cell}/{ion inside cell}

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

P + Q2+ -> no reaction

R + P2+ -> R2+ + P

Q + S2+ -> Q2+ + S

S + P2+ -> S2+ + P

S + R2+ -> S2+ + R

S + Q2+ -> no reaction

What is the correct order of reactivity of the metals?

Most -----------------------> least

A. P R S Q

B. Q R S P

C. Q S R P

D. S Q P Rhhgu

Why don't we discuss the results during the results section of the project?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The result section of the project contains your findings while carrying out your research or study.

Explanation:

The Results section of a research or study usually contains only the findings of your study or research.The findings which usually include

1. Data presented in tables, charts, graphs, and other figures.

2. A contextual analysis of this data explaining its meanings. Usually in sentences.

Our result gotten is not discussed in result section because every project or research work has a discussion page where every results or findings are discussed. The result section is expected to carry what you found.
