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.

Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection that has been fatal in at least 29% of cases, and in as many as 83% of cases, depending on the patient's health prior to infection. It has occurred often after natural disasters such as tornados, and early treatment is essential.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
