The heat of combustion of ethane is -337.0kcal at 25 degrees celsius. what is the heat of the reaction when 3g of ethane is burnt completely​

Q = -33.6kcal .

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the equation for the calculation of the total heat of reaction when a fixed mass of a fuel like ethane is burnt, we can write:

Whereas n stands for the moles and the other term for the enthalpy of combustion. Thus, for the required total heat of reaction, we first compute the moles of ethane in 3 g as shown below:

Next, we understand that -337.0kcal is the heat released by the combustion of 1 mole of ethane, therefore, to compute Q, we proceed as follows:

Best regards!

b. accuracy of the data matters alot more than its number of digits, organization or amount of detail. quantitative observation is more accepted than the qualitative observation.

atomic mass = 39

number of neutrons = 20

number of protons= 19

electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

the number of electron in first shell = 2

number of electrons in n=3 shell = 8
