The heat of reaction for the combustion of propane is –2,045 kJ. This reaction is: C3H8(g) +502 (g) 3CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g). Determine the standard heat of formation of propane.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can consider that the given heat of combustion is indeed the heat of reaction since it corresponds to the combustion of propane, which is computed by using the heat formation of all the involved species as shown below:

Thus, since the heat of formation of gaseous carbon dioxide is -393.5 kJ/mol, water -241.8 kJ/mol and oxygen 0 kJ/mol, the heat of formation of propane is:

Best regards.

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.

1. a)c-14 has two more protons

2. d)they have different numbers of protons, neutrons, and valence electrons; they are all gases at room temperature.

3. c) iron and nickel.
