Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Balanced equation for the combustion reaction of methyl tert-butyl ether has to be written. Standard heat of combustion
Concept Introduction:
Balanced equation
- Every
chemical reaction obliges Law for conversion of mass which states the mass of total amount of the product should be equal to the total mass of the reactants. - The concept of writing a balanced chemical reaction is depends on conversion of reactants into products.
- First write the reaction from the given information.
- Then count the number of atoms of each element in reactants as well as products.
- Finally obtained values could place it as coefficients of reactants as well as products.
Standard heat of formation
Standard heat of formation of a compound is termed as quantity of heat absorbed or evolved at
Enthalpy and change in enthalpy
Enthalpy corresponds to heat content of the system and it is represented by ‘H’ and it is the sum of internal energy ‘E’ and product of volume and pressure,

- Although the gas used in an oxyacetylene torch (Figure 5.7) is essentially pure acetylene, the heat produced by combustion of one mole of acetylene in such a torch is likely not equal to the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene listed in Table 5.2. Considering the conditions for which the tabulated data are reported, suggest an explanation.arrow_forwardWhen one mol of KOH is neutralized by sulfuric acid, q=56 kJ.
