Answer:

In chemistry and physics, quantum refers to a single packet of matter or energy. In practical use, it refers to the minimum amount of energy required for a change or the minimum value of any physical property in an interaction. Quantum is the singular form of the word. Quanta is the plural form of the term.

Answer:

quantum of energy

Explanation:

The term quantum of energy means that the energy is not transferred continuously but as discrete packets of energy. Amount of energy required to move an electron from one energy level to another. The amount of energy an electron gains or loses is. Not always the same. The higher energy levels are.

Given the following heats of combustion. CH3OH(l) + 3/2 O2(g) CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) ΔH°rxn = -726.4 kJ C(graphite) + O2(g) CO2(g) ΔH

Answer:

The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole

Explanation:

The formation reaction of CH_3OH will be,

$C(s)+2H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow CH_3OH(g),\Delta H_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

$C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g), \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole$ ..[1]

$H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l), \Delta H_2=-285.8kJ/mole$ ..[2]

$CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l) , \Delta H_3=-726.4kJ/mole$ ..[3]

Now we will reverse the reaction 3, multiply reaction 2 by 2 then adding all the equations, Using Hess's law:

We get :

$C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g) , \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole$ ..[1]

$2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l) ,\Delta H_2=2\times (-285.8kJ/mole)=-571.6kJ/mol$ ..[2]

$CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g) ,\Delta H_3=726.4kJ/mole$ [3]

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+2\times \Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(-393.5kJ/mole)+(-571.6kJ/mole)+(726.4kJ/mole)$

$\Delta H=-238.7kJ/mole$

The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole
