The answer is B. A good way determine this is how far right the element is on the periodic table. The further right the element is, the more electronegative it is meaning it is more willing to accept an electron. This can be explained using the valence electrons and how many need to be added or removed to complete the octet. The further right you are, the easier it is for the element to just gain a few electrons instead of loose a bunch. Noble gases are the exception to this since they don't normally react though.

Calculate the approximate enthalpy change, ΔHrxn, for the combustion of methane:

Alekssandra [29.7K]

<span>The heat of combustion is obtained by getting the difference between the summation of enthalpies of the products and the enthalpies of the reactants. Hence the equation is enthalpy change= 1598 kJ+2*928 kJ-1656 kJ-498 kJ. The answer is 1300 kJ.</span>
