Answer:

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the theory that main-group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.

C5H12 + 8O2 → 5CO2 + 6H2O Calculate the energy change for the reaction:

KATRIN_1 [288]

C5H12 (l) + 8O2 (g) ----> 5CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l)
Delta H = -3505.8 kJ/mol

C (s) + O2 (g) -----> CO2 (g)
Delta H = -393.5 kJ/mol

H2 (g) + (1/2)O2 (g) ------> H2O (l)
Delta H = -286 kJ/mol

Possible answers:
a. +35 kJ/mol
b. + 1,073 kJ/mol
c. -4,185 kJ/mol
d. -2,826 kJ/mol
e. -178 kJ/mol

Determine the molality of a solution of methanol dissolved in ethanol for which the mole fraction of methanol is 0.135. Give you

Alja [10]

Answer: The molality of the solution is 0.11 m

Explanation:

We are given:

Mole fraction of methanol = 0.135

This means that 0.135 moles of methanol is present in 1 mole of a solution

Moles of ethanol = 1 - 0.135 = 0.865 moles

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$
