Answer:
because the number of constitutional confirmation , and geometric isomers goes up with each carbon atom added there are many more possible configurations and connectivities possible with decane , a 10 carbon chain , than with butane, a 4 carbon chain
Answer:
-125 kJ
Explanation:
You calculate the energy required to break all the bonds in the reactants. Then you subtract the energy to break all the bonds in the products.
H₂C=CH₂ + H₂ ⟶ H₃C-CH₃
Bonds: 4C-H + 1C=C 1H-H 6C-H + 1C-C
D/kJ·mol⁻¹: 413 612 436 413 347
The formula relating ΔHrxn and bond dissociation energies (D) is
ΔHrxn = Σ(Dreactants) – Σ(Dproducts)
(Note: This is an exception to the rule. All other thermochemical reactions are “products – reactants”. With bond energies, it’s “reactants – products”. The reason comes from the way we define bond energies.)
<em>For the reactant</em>s:
Σ(Dreactants) = 4 × 413 + 1 × 612 + 1 × 436 = 2700 kJ
<em>For the products:</em>
Σ(Dproducts) = 6 × 413 + 1 × 347 = 2825 kJ
<em>For the system</em>
:
ΔHrxn = 2700 - 2825 = -125 kJ
I would think it is a heterogeneous mixture since it can't be an element since there are more than one type of atom, it can't be a compound since the leaves are not bonded together, and it can not be a homogeneous mixture since the leaves don't all blended together (the pile is not uniform) and you can distinguish all the different parts of the mixture. It can be considered a heterogeneous mixture since the leaves are mixed together (along with other things like dirt) in a non-uniform way so that you can point out the parts of the mixture and it does not look like one thing.
I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
