(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equation has to be written for the combustion of ethane
Concept introduction:
Balancing reaction:
Balanced reaction is a
Steps in balancing the information
- Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation
- Step 2: Find the coefficient to balance the equation.
- The coefficient should be reduced to the smallest whole number.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure has to written for the combustion of ethane reaction.
Concept introduction:
Electron-dot (Lewis) symbol: The numbers of valence electron are shown using dot symbol around the atomic symbol.
The valance electrons are represented as a dot; the dots are distributed around the four sides of the
(b)

Chemistry In Context
- Water gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, is produced by treating carbon (in the form of coke or coal) with steam at high temperatures. (See Study Question 83.) C(s) + H2O(g) CO(g) + H2(g) Not all of the carbon available is converted to water gas since some is burned to provide the heat for the endothermic reaction of carbon and water. What mass of carbon must be burned (to CO2 gas) to provide the energy to convert 1.00 kg of carbon to water gas?arrow_forwardEnthalpy a A 100.-g sample of water is placed in an insulated container and allowed to come to room temperature at 21C. To heat the water sample to 41C, how much heat must you add to it? b Consider the hypothetical reaction,2X(aq)+Y(l)X2Y(aq)being run in an insulated container that contains 100. g of solution. If the temperature of the solution changes from 21C to 31C, how much heat does the chemical reaction produce? How does this answer compare with that in part a? (You can assume that this solution is so dilute that it has the same heat capacity as pure water.) c If you wanted the temperature of 100. g of this solution to increase from 21C to 51C, how much heat would you have to add to it? (Try to answer this question without using a formula.) d If you had added 0.02 mol of X and 0.01 mol of Y to form the solution in part b, how many moles of X and Y would you need to bring about the temperature change described in part c. e Judging on the basis of your answers so far, what is the enthalpy of the reaction 2X(aq) + Y(l) X2Y(aq)?arrow_forwardThe equation for the fermentation of glucose to alcohol and carbon dioxide is: C6H12O6(aq) 2C2H5OH(aq) + 2CO2(g) The enthalpy change for the reaction is 67 kJ. Is this reaction exothermic or endothermic? Is energy, in the form of heat, absorbed or evolved as the reaction occurs?arrow_forward
- For the reaction HgO(s)Hg(l)+12O2(g),H=+90.7KJ: a. What quantity of heat is required to produce 1 mole of mercury by this reaction? b. What quantity of heat is required to produce 1 mole of oxygen gas by this reaction? c. What quantity of heat would be released in the following reaction as written? 2Hg(l)+O2(g)2HgO(s)arrow_forward4.61 What is actually measured by the octane ratings of different grades of gasoline?arrow_forwardNitrogen monoxide, a gas recently found to be involved in a wide range of biological processes, reacts with oxygen to give brown NO2 gas. 2 NO(g) + O2(g) NO2(g)rH = 114.1 kJ/mol-rxn Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? What is the enthalpy change if 1.25 g of NO is converted completely to NO2?arrow_forward
- The equation for the combustion of 2 mol of butane can be written 2C4H10(g)+O2(g)8CO2(g)+10H2O(g);HO Which of the following produces the least heat? a Burning 1 mol of butane. b Reacting 1 mol of oxygen with excess butane. c Burning enough butane to produce 1 mol of carbon dioxide. d Burning enough butane to produce 1 mol of water. e All of the above reactions (a, b, c, and d) produce the same amount of heat.arrow_forward9.59 For the reaction N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g),H=180.5kJ .
