The lighter components are able to rise higher in the column before they are cooled to their condensing temperature, allowing them to be removed at slightly higher levels.
I hope this helps
Answer:
Round to the number of significant figures in the original question. However, if you're going to proceed with further calculations using this mass, it's best not to round, as rounding will cause your answer to be less precise.
Explanation:
Yes it could, but you'd have to set up the process very carefully.
I see two major challenges right away:
1). Displacement of water would not be a wise method, since rock salt
is soluble (dissolves) in water. So as soon as you start lowering it into
your graduated cylinder full of water, its volume would immediately start
to decrease. If you lowered it slowly enough, you might even measure
a volume close to zero, and when you pulled the string back out of the
water, there might be nothing left on the end of it.
So you would have to choose some other fluid besides water ... one in
which rock salt doesn't dissolve. I don't know right now what that could
be. You'd have to shop around and find one.
2). Whatever fluid you did choose, it would also have to be less dense
than rock salt. If it's more dense, then the rock salt just floats in it, and
never goes all the way under. If that happens, then you have a tough
time measuring the total volume of the lump.
So the displacement method could perhaps be used, in principle, but
it would not be easy.
Answer: 72.4 kJ/mol
Explanation:
The balanced chemical reaction is,

The expression for enthalpy change is,
![\Delta H=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%3D%5Csum%20%5Bn%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_f%28product%29%5D-%5Csum%20%5Bn%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_f%28reactant%29%5D)
![\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})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%3D%5B%28n_%7BCO_2%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BCO_2%7D%29%2B%28n_%7BH_2O%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BH_2O%7D%29%5D-%5B%28n_%7BO_2%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BO_2%7D%29%2B%28n_%7BC_3H_8%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BC_3H_8%7D%29%5D)
where,
n = number of moles
(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})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-2220.1%3D%5B%283%5Ctimes%20-393.5%29%2B%284%5Ctimes%20-241.8%29%5D-%5B%285%5Ctimes%200%29%2B%281%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BC_3H_8%7D%29%5D)

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