Gasoline contains C and H atoms. During combustion, the carbon (C) from the fuel combines with oxygen (O2) from the air to produce carbon dioxide (CO2).
2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O.
Combustion reactions release large amounts of heat. They have negative enthalpy. A negative enthalpy represents an exothermic reaction, releasing heat. This reaction is spontaneous and exothermic, since we can obtain energy from the reaction; the ΔG (free energy) is negative (So 1 is true).
ΔG < 0, so the free energy of the system decreases with the reaction. Remember that when there is a negative ΔG the reaction goes from higher free energy to lower free energy, like in this case.
Answer:
40.02 calories
Explanation:
V = 10 mL = 10g
we know t went <em>up</em> by 4°C, this is our ∆t as it is a change.
Formula that ties it together: Q = mc∆t
where,
Q = energy absorbed by water
m = mass of water
c = specific heat of water (constant)
∆t = temperature change
Q = (10 g) x (4.186 J/g•°C) x (4°C)
Q = 167.44 J
Joules to Calories:
167.44 J x 1 cal/4.184 J = 40.02 calories
(makes sense as in image it is close to the value).
Answer:
Enthalpy change = -44.12 kJ
Explanation:
<u>Given: </u>
ΔH°f(C2H6O(l)) = -277.69 kj/mol
ΔH°f(C2H4(g)) = 52.26 kj/mol
ΔH°f(H2O) = -285.83 kj/mol
<u>To determine:</u>
Enthalpy change for the formation of C2H6O
<u>Calculation:</u>
The given reaction is:

The enthalpy change for the reaction is given as;

where n(products) and n(reactants) are the moles of products and reactants
Substituting the appropriate values for n and ΔH°f:
![\Delta H = 1\Delta H^{0}f(C2H6O)-[1\Delta H^{0}f(C2H4)+1\Delta H^{0}f(H2O)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%20%3D%201%5CDelta%20H%5E%7B0%7Df%28C2H6O%29-%5B1%5CDelta%20H%5E%7B0%7Df%28C2H4%29%2B1%5CDelta%20H%5E%7B0%7Df%28H2O%29%5D)
ΔH = -277.69-(52.26-285.83) = -44.12 KJ
