The balanced chemical reaction for the complete combustion of C4H10 is shown below:
C4H10 + (3/2)O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O
The enthalpy of formation are listed below:
C4H10: -2876.9 kJ/mol
O2: none (because it is pure substance)
CO2: -393.5 kJ/mol
H2O: -285.8 kJ/mol
The enthalpy of combustion is computed by subtracting the total enthalpy formation of the reactants from that of the products.
ΔHc = (4)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (5)(-285.8 kJ/mol) - (-2876.9 kJ/mol)
= -<em>126.1 kJ</em>
Thus, the enthalpy of combustion of the carbon is -126.1 kJ.
Covalent bonds would be formed when a non-metal bonds with another non-metal
Answer:
2) Gas molecules do not have preferred direction of motion, their motion is completely random. 3) Gas molecules travels in straight line. 4) The time interval of collision between any two gas molecules is very small. 5) The collision between gas molecules and the walls of container is perfectly elastic.
