The balanced chemical reaction is written as:
<span>CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g) ----> CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g)
</span>
We are given the amount of water to be produced from the reaction. This amount will be used for the calculations. Calculations are as follows:
12.4 L H2O ( 1 mol / 22.4 L ) ( 1 mol CH4 / 2 mol H2O ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 6.2 L CH4
Answer:
C) It provides a lower activation energy for the reaction is the correct answer.
Explanation:
- A catalyst increases the rate of the chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy for a reaction.
- Catalyst is used to increase the reaction rate, it remains unchanged in the chemical reaction and it does not change the equilibrium constant.
- Activation energy is a minimum amount of energy required to initiate the reaction.
From the statement of Hess' law, the enthalpy of the reaction A---> C is +90 kJ
<h3>What is Hess' law?</h3>
Hess' law of constant heat summation states that for a multistep reaction, the standard enthalpy of reaction is always constant and is independent of the pathway or intermediate routes taken.
From Hess' law, the enthalpy change for the reaction A ----> C is calculated as follows:
A---> C = A ---> B + B ---> C
ΔH of A---> C = 30 kJ + 60 kJ
ΔH = 90 kJ
Therefore, the enthalpy of the reaction A---> C is +90 kJ
The above reaction A---> C can be shown in the enthalpy diagram below:
A -------------------> C (ΔH = +90 kJ)
