Question

Determine the total enthalpy of the reactants and the total enthalpy of the products. Record these values in Table C.

Total enthalpy of reactants = (ΔHf of Reactant 1 x Coefficient) + (ΔHf of Reactant 2 x Coefficient)
Total enthalpy of products= (ΔHf of Product 1 x Coefficient) + (ΔHf of Product 2 x Coefficient)

please show your work !! thank you.

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction equation is;

C3H8 (g) + 5O2(g) -------> 4H2O(g) + 3CO2(g)

From the formula;

Total enthalpy of reactants = (ΔHf of Reactant 1 x Coefficient) + (ΔHf of Reactant 2 x Coefficient)

Total enthalpy of products= (ΔHf of Product 1 x Coefficient) + (ΔHf of Product 2 x Coefficient)

Hence;

Total enthalpy of reactants =[(-103.85 * 1) + (0 * 5)] = -103.85 + 0 = -103.85 KJ/mol

Total enthalpy of products= [(-393.51 * 4) +(-241.82 * 3)] = (-1574.04) + (-483.64) = -2057.68 KJ/mol
