Use the balanced chemical equation below to answer the following.

Use bond energies to calculate the enthalpy of reaction for the combustion of ethane. Average bond energies in kJ/mol C-C 347, C

ivanzaharov [21]

The enthalpy of reaction for the combustion of ethane 2CH₃CH₃ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O calculated from the average bond energies of the compounds is -2860 kJ/mol.

The reaction is:

2CH₃CH₃ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O (1)

The enthalpy of reaction (1) is given by:

$\Delta H = \Delta H_{r} - \Delta H_{p}$ (2)

Where:

r: is for reactants

p: is for products

The bonds of the compounds of reaction (1) are:

2CH₃CH₃: 2 moles of 6 C-H bonds + 2 moles of 1 C-C bond

7O₂: 7 moles of 1 O=O bond

4CO₂: 4 moles of 2 C=O bonds

6H₂O: 6 moles of 2 H-O bonds

Hence, the enthalpy of reaction (1) is (eq 2):

$\Delta H = \Delta H_{r} - \Delta H_{p}$

$\Delta H = 2*\Delta H_{CH_{3}CH_{3}} + 7\Delta H_{O_{2}} - (4*\Delta H_{CO_{2}} + 6*\Delta H_{H_{2}O})$

$\Delta H = 2*(6*\Delta H_{C-H} + \Delta H_{C-C}) + 7\Delta H_{O=O} - (4*2*\Delta H_{C=O} + 6*2*\Delta H_{H-O})$

$\Delta H = [2*(6*413 + 347) + 7*498 - (4*2*799 + 6*2*467)] kJ/mol$

$\Delta H = -2860 kJ/mol$

Therefore, the enthalpy of reaction for the combustion of ethane is -2860 kJ/mol.

I hope it helps you!

How many grams of CaCl2 are needed to make 277.8g of a solution that is 31.5% (m/m) in water? Note that mass is not technically

Sveta_85 [38]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of calcium chloride present in given amount of solution is 87.5 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of solution = 277.8 grams

Also, 31.5 % (m/m) of calcium chloride in water. This means that 31.5 g of calcium chloride is present in 100 g of solution.

To calculate the mass of calcium chloride in the given amount of solution, we use unitary method:

in 100 g of solution, the mass of calcium chloride present is 31.5 g

So, 277.8 g of solution, the mass of calcium chloride present is $\frac{31.5}{100}\times 277.8=87.5g$

Hence, the mass of calcium chloride present in given amount of solution is 87.5 g

The necessity of ascorbic acid for its role in _____ is believed to be the reason that people with scurvy have no energy and are

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Carnitine Synthesis

Explanation:

Ascorbic acid acts as a cofactor in various hydroxylation and amidation reactions by electron transfer to enzymes that provide reducing equivalents. Accordingly, ascorbic acid is required or facilitates the conversion of certain proline and lysine residues of the procollagen, the oxidation of lysine side chains to proteins, providing hydroxytrimethylsiline for carnitine synthesis. This means that ascorbic acid is essential for the carnitine synthesis.

Carnitine is derived from amino acids and acts as a cofactor for the enzyme acetyltransferase responsible for the transport of fatty acids to mitochondria. Your presence in the body is very important for feeling energetic and strong. The lack of canitine, influenced by the lack of ascorbic acid in individuals suffering from scurvy, causes a lack of energy.
