Calculate the enthalpy of formation of butane, C4H10, using the balanced chemical
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

-125.4

Explanation:

Target equation is 4C(s) + 5H2(g) = C4H10

These are the data equations for enthalpy of combustion

  1. C(s) + O2(g) =O2(g) -393.5 kJ/mol * 4
  2. H2(g) + ½O2(g) =H20(l) = 285.8 kJ/mol * 5
  3. 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) = 13/2O2 (g) + C4H10 - 2877.1 reverse

To get target equation multiply data equation 1 by 4; multiply equation 2 by 5; and reverse equation 3, so...

Calculate 4(-393.5) + 5(-285.8) + 2877.6 and you should get the answer.

Why is there an energy crisis if energy is supposedly conserved? Explain your answer and cite one example
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it does change its form. And not all forms of energy are usable and it gets dissipated as heat energy and sound energy. The energy that is wasted cannot be recovered.

Type the correct answer in the box. a pharmacist works with a 1.75 m solution of sodium bromide (nabr) and water. the volume of
Elodia [21]

Answer: 147 mL

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Molarity of the sodium bromide (NaBr) solution (M1)  = 1.75 M

Volume of the solution (V1) = 84 mL

Molarity of the diluted NaBr solution (M2) = 1 M

Using the dilution formula to solve for V2:

\begin{gathered}M_{1} V_{1}=M_{2} V_{2} \\V_{2}=(1.75 \mathrm{M} \times 84 \mathrm{~mL}) / 1 \mathrm{M} \\V_{2}=147 \mathrm{~mL}\end{gathered}

Therefore, the new volume of the solution is 147 mL
