Question 1

The heat of combustion per mole for acetylene, C2H2(g), is -1299.5 kJ/mol. Assuming that the combustion products are CO2(g) and H2O(l), and given that the enthalpy of formation is -393.5 kJ/mol for CO2(g) and -285.8 kJ/mol for H2O(l), find the enthalpy of formation of C2H2(g).
◦ -226.7 kJ/mol
◦ -846.1 kJ/mol
◦ -620.2 kJ/mol
◦ +226.7 kJ/mol

Question 2

Which of CH4(g), C2H2(g), and CH3OH(l) provides the most energy per gram upon combustion and which provides the least?

CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l)ΔH° = -890 kJ
2 C2H2(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l)ΔH° = -2599 kJ
2 CH3OH(l) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(l)ΔH° = -1453 kJ

◦ C2H2 provides the most energy per gram and CH3OH the least.
◦ CH4 provides the most energy per gram and C2H2 the least.
◦ CH4 provides the most energy per gram and CH3OH the least.
◦ C2H2 provides the most energy per gram and CH4 the least.

Did you know?

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
