Propane(C_3H_8 Delta H_f = -104.63 kJ/mol) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (CO_2 Delta H_f = -393.5 kJ/mol) and water (H_2O DeltaH_f = -241.82 kJ/mol) According to the equation Down below C_3H_8 + 3O_2 -> 3CO_2 + 4H_2O.

Why is the Enthalpy of Combustion of C_3H_8 in the reaction that I showed above?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. (also if you could help show how you did it that would be nice)

(And please for the love of god dont say any $h!t like "all i know about this question is that combustion involves burning/heat"

or "Here is a link to this scam download virus thing"

that is not really an answer.

i just want help with this one thing and I dont really use points so i am putting 100 points on this)

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
