a) synthesis- or combination- reaction
What are the answers choices?
Answer:
3 × 10⁴ kJ
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced thermochemical equation
C₃H₈(g) + 5 O₂(g) ⟶ 3 CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O(g) ΔH = -2220 kJ
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 865.9 g of H₂O
The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 g/mol.
865.9 g × 1 mol/18.02 g = 48.05 mol
Step 3: Calculate the heat produced when 48.05 moles of H₂O are produced
According to the thermochemical equation, 2220 kJ of heat are evolved when 4 moles of H₂O are produced.
48.05 mol × 2220 kJ/4 mol = 2.667 × 10⁴ kJ ≈ 3 × 10⁴ kJ
5.6L of O2 means we have 0.25 moles of O2.
As, 1 mole has 6.023*10^23 molecules,
0.25 moles of O2 will have 0.25*6.023*10^23 molecules=1.50575*10^23 molecules
and as 1 molecule of O2 has 2 atoms, so, 1.50575*10^23 molecules will have 2*1.50575*10^23 atoms=3.0115*10^23 atoms of O.
