Explanation:

the further down the group you go, the larger the radius becomes. its caused by the amount of electrons needed to equal out the charge of the nucleus

Methanol, ethanol, and n−propanol are three common alcohols. When 1.00 g of each of these alcohols is burned in air, heat is lib

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

For methanol: Heat of combustion = -22.6 kJ / 0.0312 moles = -724.3590 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

For ethanol: Heat of combustion = -29.7 kJ / 0.0217 moles = -1368.6636 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

For propanol: Heat of combustion = -33.4 kJ / 0.0166 moles = -2012.0482 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Methanol = 1.0 g

Mass of ethanol = 1.00 g

Mass of n-propanol = 1.00 g

For methanol:

2 CH₃OH + 3 O₂ ----> 2 CO₂ + 4 H₂O, ∆H₀ = -22.6 kJ/g (negative sign signifies release of heat)

1 g of methanol on combustion gives 22.6 kJ of energy

Calculation of moles of methanol:

$moles=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molar\ mass (M)}$

Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol

Thus moles of methanol = 1 g/ (32.04 g/mol) = 0.0312 moles

Hence energy in kJ/mol:

Heat of combustion = -22.6 kJ / 0.0312 moles = -724.3590 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

For ethanol:

C₂H₅OH + 3 O₂ ----> 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O, ∆H₀ = -29.7 kJ/g (negative sign signifies release of heat)

1 g of ethanol on combustion gives 29.7 kJ of energy

Calculation of moles of ethanol:

$moles=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molar\ mass (M)}$

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Thus moles of ethanol = 1 g/ (46.07 g/mol) = 0.0217 moles

Hence energy in kJ/mol:

Heat of combustion = -29.7 kJ / 0.0217 moles = -1368.6636 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

For propanol:

2 C₃H₇OH + 9 O₂ ----> 6 CO₂ + 8 H₂O, ∆H₀ = -33.4 kJ/g , (negative sign signifies release of heat)

1 g of methanol on combustion gives 33.4 kJ of energy

Calculation of moles of methanol:

$moles=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molar\ mass (M)}$

Molar mass of methanol = 60.09 g/mol

Thus moles of methanol = 1 g/ (60.09 g/mol) = 0.0166 moles

Hence energy in kJ/mol:

Heat of combustion = -33.4 kJ / 0.0166 moles = -2012.0482 kJ/mol (negative sign signifies release of heat)

During reduction, which of the following is true? A. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number increases. B. Electrons are g

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number decreases.

Explanation:

Reduction is the gain of electrons.

Oxidation number is the charge that an atom appears to have when we count its electrons in a specific way.

Electrons have a negative charge so, if an atom gains electrons, its charge (oxidation number) becomes more negative. The oxidation number decreases.

If electrons are given off, the atom is being oxidized. Loss of electrons is oxidation.
