Answer:
Theoretical yield for CO₂ is 5.10g
Explanation:
Reaction: 2C₆H₆(l) + 15O₂(g) → 12CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)
We convert the mass of oxygen to moles:
4.64 g /32 g/mol = 0.145 moles of O₂
Let's find out the 100% yield reaction of CO₂ (theoretical yield)
Ratio is 15:12. So let's make this rule of three:
15 moles of O₂ can produce 12 moles of CO₂
Therefore 0.145 moles of oxygen will produce (0.145 . 12) /15 = 0.116 moles
We convert the moles to mass: 0.116 mol . 44 g / 1mol = 5.10 g
Answer: 72.4 kJ/mol
Explanation:
The balanced chemical reaction is,

The expression for enthalpy change is,
![\Delta H=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%3D%5Csum%20%5Bn%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_f%28product%29%5D-%5Csum%20%5Bn%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_f%28reactant%29%5D)
![\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_3H_8}\times \Delta H_{C_3H_8})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%3D%5B%28n_%7BCO_2%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BCO_2%7D%29%2B%28n_%7BH_2O%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BH_2O%7D%29%5D-%5B%28n_%7BO_2%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BO_2%7D%29%2B%28n_%7BC_3H_8%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BC_3H_8%7D%29%5D)
where,
n = number of moles
(as heat of formation of substances in their standard state is zero
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get
![-2220.1=[(3\times -393.5)+(4\times -241.8)]-[(5\times 0)+(1\times \Delta H_{C_3H_8})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-2220.1%3D%5B%283%5Ctimes%20-393.5%29%2B%284%5Ctimes%20-241.8%29%5D-%5B%285%5Ctimes%200%29%2B%281%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BC_3H_8%7D%29%5D)

Therefore, the heat of formation of propane is 72.4 kJ/mol
I think it's an Alkaline Solution
