Taking into account the definition of enthalpy of a chemical reaction, the quantity of heat released when 5.87 moles of CH₄ are burned is 4,707.74 kJ.

The enthalpy of a chemical reaction as the heat absorbed or released in a chemical reaction when it occurs at constant pressure. That is, the heat of reaction is the energy that is released or absorbed when chemicals are transformed into a chemical reaction.

The enthalpy is an extensive property, that is, it depends on the amount of matter present.

In this case, the balanced reaction is:

CH₄ (g) + 2 O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O(g)

and the enthalpy reaction ∆H° has a value of -802 kJ/mol.

This equation indicates that when 1 mole of CH₄ reacts with 2 moles of O2, 802 kJ of heat is released.

When 5.87 moles of CH₄ are burned, then you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mole of CH₄ releases 802 kJ of heat, 5.87 moles of CH₄ releases how much heat?

$heat=\frac{5.87 molesof CH_{4}x802 kJ}{1 mol of CH_{4} }$

<u><em>heat= 4,707.74 kJ</em></u>

Finally, the quantity of heat released when 5.87 moles of CH₄ are burned is 4,707.74 kJ.

It takes 167 s for an unknown gas to effuse through a porous wall and 99 s for the same volume of n2 gas to effuse at the same t

irakobra [83]

Answer : The molar mass of the unknown gas will be 79.7 g/mol

Explanation : To solve this question we can use graham's law;

Now we can use nitrogen as the gas number 2, which travels faster than gas 1;

So, 167 / 99 = 1.687 So the nitrogen gas is 1.687 times faster that the unknown gas 1

We can compare the rates of both the gases;

So here, Rate of gas 2 / Rate of gas 1 = $\sqrt{(molar mass 1 / molar mass 2)}$

Now, 1.687 = square root [ $\sqrt{(molar mass 1) / (28.01 g/mol N_{2})}$ ]

When we square both the sides we get;

2.845 = (molar mass 1) / (28.01 g/mol N2)

On rearranging, we get,

2.845 X (28.01 g/mol N2) = Molar mass 1

So the molar mass of unknown gas will be = 79.7 g/mol
