<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is the products have a lower potential energy than the reactants.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which the enthalpy change of a reaction is negative.

Enthalpy of a reaction is determined by the equation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum H_{products}-\sum H_{reactants}$

As, the enthalpy change of the reaction is negative, which means that the potential energy of the products is less than the potential energy of the reactants.

Hence, the correct statement is the products have a lower potential energy than the reactants.

Answer:

Problem, Variables, Hypothesis, Research, Procedure, Data, Conclusion.

Explanation:

First, you have to know what the problem that you're talking about is. Then, you have to know the independent, dependent, and controlled variables are in order to make a hypothesis. Then do research about the topic. After that, you make the procedure your experiment, if that's what your doing. Then after the experiment, you find the data. Using that data, you make a conclusion.

A) What volume of butane (C 4 H 10 ) can be produced at STP, from the reaction of 13.45 g of carbon with 17.65 L of hydrogen gas

UNO [17]

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, carbon is in excess and 5.856 g s left over.

<h3>What is the volume of butane produced?</h3>

The reaction can be written as; 4C(s) + 5H2(g) -----> C4H10(g)

Number of moles of C = 13.45 g/1 2g/mol = 1.12 moles

If 1 mole of hydrogen occupies 22.4 L

x moles of hydrogen occupies 17.65 L

x = 0.79 moles

Now;

4 moles of carbon reacts with 5 moles of hydrogen

1.12 moles of carbon reacts with 1.12 moles * 5 moles/4 moles

= 1.4 moles of hydrogen

Hence hydrogen is the limiting reactant here and carbon is in excess.

If 4 moles of carbon reacts with 5 moles of hydrogen

x moles of carbon reacts with 0.79 moles of hydrogen

x = 0.632 moles

Number of moles of carbon unreacted = 1.12 moles - 0.632 moles

= 0.488 moles

Mass of carbon unreacted = 0.488 moles * 12 g/mol

= 5.856 g

Volume of butane produced is obtained from;

5 moles of hydrogen produces 1 mole of butane

0.79 moles of hydrogen produces 0.79 moles * 1 mole/ 5 moles

= 0.158 moles

1 mole of butane occupies 22.4 L

0.158 moles of butane occupies 0.158 moles * 22.4 L/ 1 mole

= 3.53 L
