- Complete and balance the following combustion reactions. Assume that each hydrocarbon is converted completely to carbon dioxide and water. (a) Propane + O2 (b) Octane + O2 (c) Cyclohexane + O2 (d) 2-Methylpentane + O2arrow_forwardHow does the structure of a cycloalkane differ from that of a straight-chain or branched-chain alkane?arrow_forwardThe heat of combustion of 2-methylheptane, C8H18, is 5464 kJ/mol. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 399 grams of 2-methylheptane ? a) 19,100 kJ b) 21,800 kJ c) 16,200 kJ d) 20,100 kJarrow_forward
- When 13.0 g of acetylene, C2H2, undergoes complete combustion, 65.5 kJ of heat are released. a) How much energy is released when one mole of acetylene is burned? b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction and include the heat value in the equation.arrow_forwardDetermine the mass of 2-bromopropane that could be prepared from 25.5 g of propene? assume a 100% yield of the product?arrow_forwardThe combustion of isoctane reaction produces -5099.5 kJ of heat per mole of C8H18 (g) consumed, under standard conditions. The enthalpy of formation (DHf) for CO2(g) and H2O (g) are -393.5 kJ/mol and -241.8 kJ/mol, respectively. Find the standard enthalpy of formation (DHf) of this isomer of C8H18 (g)? (Show work) C8H18 (g) + O2(g) -> 8CO2(g) + 9H2O(g) DHrxn = -5099.5 kJarrow_forward
- What mass of 2-bromopropane could be prepared from 25.5 g of propene? Assume a 100% yield of product.arrow_forwardEthanol, C₂H60, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The combustion of one mole of ethanol releases 326.7 kcal of energy. The combustion of one mole of 2-methylheptane, C8H18, releases 1.306 × 10³ kcal of energy. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 405 grams of 2- methylheptane? kcal Assuming the same efficiency, would 405 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 405 grams of 2-methylheptane? more less the same amount Retry Entire Group 9 more group attempts remainingarrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation to show the reaction of gaseous ethane with gaseous oxygen to form carbon monoxide gas and water vapor.

- Write a balanced chemical equation based on the following description: propanol, C₃H₇OH(l) burns in airarrow_forwardGasohol is a mixture of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol, CH 3CH 2OH. Ethanol is considered an environmentally friendly fuel additive because it can be made from a renewable source—sugarcane. Ethanol burns in air to form CO 2 and H 2O, and, like the combustion of alkanes, this reaction also releases a great deal of energy. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol.arrow_forwardWrite the equation for the oxidation of pentane (C5H12).
