The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
How much heat is produced when 24.8 g of is burned in excess oxygen gas
Given: ΔH= −802 kJ.
Answer: 1243.1 kJ
Explanation:
Heat of combustion is the amount of heat released on complete combustion of 1 mole of substance.
Given :
Amount of heat released on combustion of 1 mole of methane = 802 kJ kJ/mol
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at NTP, weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number of particles.
1 mole of weighs = 16 g
Thus we can say:
16 g of on combustion releases heat = 802 kJ
Thus 24.8 g of on combustion releases =
Thus heat released when 24.8 g of methane is burned in excess oxygen gas is 1243.1 kJ
First, isotopes <u>are the atoms of a single element whose nuclei have a different number of neutrons</u>, and therefore, differ in mass numbers. You should know that atoms are formed by a nucleus that has a small size and is made up of protons and neutrons. The nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons, which are found in a region of the atom called the cortex.
The mass number, represented as A, <u>is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus</u>. On the other hand, the atomic number (Z) is <u>the number of protons that exist in the nucleus. </u>
The isotopes of an element X are represented as follows,
<em>(see first attached picture)</em>
It should be noted that the number of neutrons of a chemical element can be calculated as the difference A-Z.
<u>The atomic and mass numbers of bismuth with 125 neutrons are</u>:
Z = 83
A = 83 + 125 = 208
Thus, the atomic symbol of the bismuth isotope with 125 neutrons is:
