Answer: The molar enthalpy of formation for paraffin wax  is  -2460.5 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_{25}H_{52}(g)+38O_2(g)\rightarrow 25CO_2(g)+26H_2O(g)

The expression for enthalpy change is,

\Delta H=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]

\Delta H=[(n_{CO_2}\times \Delta H_{CO_2})+(n_{H_2O}\times \Delta H_{H_2O})]-[(n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_{O_2})+(n_{C_{25}H_{52}}\times \Delta H_{C_{25}H_{52}})]

where,

n = number of moles

\Delta H_{O_2}=0 (as heat of formation of substances in their standard state is zero

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

-14800=[(25\times -393.5)+(26\times -285.5)]-[(38\times 0)+(1\times \Delta H_{C_{25}H_{52}})]

\Delta H_{C_{25}H_{52}}=-2460.5kJ/mol

Therefore, the molar enthalpy of formation for paraffin wax  is -2460.5 kJ

Answer:

1= Magnesium

2 = Option 3 =  1s² 2s² 2p⁶

Explanation:

An electrically neutral atom consist of equal number of protons and electrons.

The answer for 1st q is magnesium because the electronic configuration showed twelve number of electrons. The atomic number of magnesium is twelve that's why this configuration is of Mg.

Mg₁₂ =  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

The second answer is option three because has atomic number ten and third electronic configuration have ten electrons.

Ne₁₀ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

It is stable electronic configuration. Neon is inert because of this electronic configuration. The outer most shell is completely filled.

Educated Guess Here!

Since Br-80 does not exist, maybe that means Br-79 or Br-81 have very unequal abundances. For example, Br-79 may have 75% abundance whereas Br-81 may have 25% abundance.
