Given the equation C3H8(g) + O2(g) = CO2(g) + H2O(g) and that the enthalpies of formation for H2O(g) = -241.8 kJ/mol, CO2(g) = -

393.5kJ/mol, and the enthalpy of combustion for the reaction is -2220.1kJ/mol, what is the heat of formation of propane?

Answer: 72.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(l)  \Delta H=-2220.1kJ/mol

The expression for enthalpy change is,

\Delta H=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]

\Delta H=[(n_{CO_2}\times \Delta H_{CO_2})+(n_{H_2O}\times \Delta H_{H_2O})]-[(n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_{O_2})+(n_{C_3H_8}\times \Delta H_{C_3H_8})]

where,

n = number of moles

\Delta H_{O_2}=0 (as heat of formation of substances in their standard state is zero

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

-2220.1=[(3\times -393.5)+(4\times -241.8)]-[(5\times 0)+(1\times \Delta H_{C_3H_8})]

\Delta H_{C_3H_8}=72.4kJ/mol

Therefore, the heat of formation of propane is 72.4 kJ/mol

Use the information below to explain why the atomic radius decreases down a group.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Detail is given below

Explanation:

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

In A we can see that there is one positive charge and force of attraction is 2.30×10⁻⁸ N and distance is 0.10 nm

In B we can see that negative charge is further away from nucleus because of greater distance thus force of attraction will be less. 0.58×10⁻⁸ N

In C this distance further increases and force also goes in decreasing 0.26×10⁻⁸ N.
