A deep underground cavern contains 3.35 × 10 ^ 6 L of ethane gas ( C2 H6) at a pressure of 2.50 × 10 ^ 3 kpa & temperature of 370 degree Celsius. How many grams of C2H6 does the cavern contain? ( R = 8.31 L. kpa / K/mol)

the answer is true.

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
