10. You're preparing for a camping trip. you see two different stoves you can pack for your trip to do
all your cooking. Which fuel would you prefer to carry?
One stove uses fuel propane.
The other stove uses naphtha (hexane) fuel.
Start by writing a balanced combustion equation for both of these reactions. Use either standard
enthalpies of formation or bond energies to determine the enthalpy changes for the combustion of
these two fuels. Then suggest which stove, the one that uses propane or the one that uses naphtha,
would you recommend to pack for your camping trip? Explain. (You may need more space for
your response).
Use the References to access important values if needed for this question.
Use average bond enthalpies (linked above) to calculate the enthalpy change for the following gas-phase reaction.
2HBr(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2HCI(g) + Br₂(0)
To analyze the reaction, first draw Lewis structures for all reactant and product molecules.
Draw the reaction using separate sketchers for each species.
• Separate multiple reactants and/or products using the + sign from the drop-down arrow.
. Separate reactants from products using the symbol from the drop-down menu.
Remember to include nonbonding valence electrons in your Lewis structures.

2. A 35 g metal ball made up of a mixture of element X and element Y is heated up to 77C and
dropped into 20 mL of 15°C water. If the final temperature of the metal ball is 30°C, what percentage
of the ball is made up of element X? The specific heat of element X is 0.46 J/g°C and the specific heat
of element Y is (0.209 J/g°C).
