What happens during nuclear reaction that does not happen during a chemical reaction?

1 answer:

5 0

A chemical reaction does not create or destroy matter, it simply moves electrons from one atom to another, but does not change the nucleus of the atoms. ... The total mass of the matter can change during a nuclear reaction, the mass loss can convert into energy, which is called the nuclear power.

For a particular isomer of C8H18, the combustion reaction produces 5113.3 kJ of heat per mole of C8H18(g) consumed, under standa

mart [117]

Answer: The standard enthalpy of formation of this isomer of $C_8H_{18}(g)$ is -210.9 kJ

Explanation:

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$C_8H_{18}(g)+\frac{25}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+9H_2O(g)$

First we have to calculate the enthalpy of formation of $C_8H_{18}$ .

$\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{reactant}$

$\Delta H^o=[n_{CO_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(CO_2)}+n_{H_2O}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(H_2O)}]-[n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(O_2)+n_{C_8H_{18}}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(C_8H_{18})}]$
