The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Butane (C_4H_{10}(g), Hf = –125.6 kJ/mol) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (CO_2 , Hf = –393.5 kJ/mol ) and water (H_2O, Hf = –241.82 kJ/mol) according to the equation below. What is the enthalpy of combustion (per mole) of C_4H_{10} (g)?

Answer: -2657.5 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_4H_{10}(g)+\frac{13}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+5H_2O(g)

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_4H_{10}}\times \Delta H_{C_4H_{10})]

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

\Delta H=[(4\times -393.5)+(5\times -241.82)]-[(\frac{13}{2}\times 0)+(1\times -125.6)]

Delta H=-2657.5kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion per mole of butane is -2657.5 kJ

How do surface waves form?
ivann1987 [24]
Ocean surface waves are surface waves that occur at the surface of an ocean. They usually result from distant winds or geologic effects and may travel thousands of miles before striking land. They range in size from small ripples to huge tsunamis. There is surprisingly little actual forward motion of individual water particles in a wave, despite the large amount of forward energy it may carry.

Which statement describes a chemical property of water?
anygoal [31]
<span>The chemical description of water is H2O, which means, it is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. The answer to this item is the fourth option, " It is clear and colorless." When water is added with calcium, clear, colorless bubbles are formed. This explains a reaction of water with acid. The following are additional facts about water properties: Density: 1 g/cm³ Boiling point: 100 °C Molar mass: 18.01528 g/mol Melting point: 0 °C Formula: H2O</span>
