The standard heat of combustion of gaseous ethane is listed in Table B.1 as -1559.9 kJ/mol.
- In your own words, briefly explain what that means. (Your explanation should mention the reference states used to define the tabulated heats of combustion.)
Use tabulated heats of formation to verify the given value of
using (i) tabulated heats of formation and (ii) tabulated heats of combustion (Equation 9.4-1).
- Write the stoichiometric equations for the combustion reactions of acetylene, hydrogen, and ethane, and use Hess's law to derive the formula you used in Part (c-ii).

- 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_forwardA compound is 82.7% carbon and 17.3% hydrogen, and has a molar mass of approximately 60 g/mol. When 1.000 g of this compound burns in excess oxygen, the enthalpy change is 49.53 kJ. (a) What is the empirical formula of this compound? (b) What is the molecular formula of this compound? (c) What is the standard enthalpy of formation of this compound? (d) Two compounds that have this molecular formula appear in Appendix G. Which one was used in this exercise?arrow_forwardThe enthalpy change for the following reaction is 393.5 kJ. C(s,graphite)+O2(g)CO2(g) (a) Is energy released from or absorbed by the system in this reaction? (b) What quantities of reactants and products are assumed? (c) Predict the enthalpy change observed when 3.00 g carbon burns in an excess of oxygen.arrow_forward
- When 2.50 g of methane burns in oxygen, 125 kJ of heat is produced. What is the enthalpy of combustion per mole of methane under these conditions?arrow_forwardIn a bomb calorimeter, the reaction vessel is surrounded by water that must be added for each experiment. Since the amount of water is not constant from experiment to experiment, the mass of water must be measured in each case. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is broken down into two parts: the water and the calorimeter components. If a calorimeter contains 1.00 kg water and has a total heat capacity of 10.84 kJ/C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter components?arrow_forwardThe combustion of 1.00 mol liquid methyl alcohol (CH3OH) in excess oxygen is exothermic, giving 727 kJ of heat. (a) Write the thermochemical equation for this reaction. (b) Calculate the enthalpy change that accompanies the burning 10.0 g methanol. (c) Compare this with the amount of heat produced by 10.0 g octane, C8H18, a component of gasoline (see Exercise 5.41).arrow_forward
