Given that there are three possible cis-dimethylcyclohexanes, if the same amount of these compounds were each combusted in a calorimeter, which one pf the three would be expected to release the least amount of heat?
Given that molar enthalpy of combustion of acetylene (C2H2, 26.04 g/mol) is -1299 kJ/mol at 25 C and 1 atm, which statement below is FALSE?
C2H2(g)+ 5/2 O2(g) ----> 2CO2(g)+H2O(l)
a. The enthalpy of the reactants is lower than that of the products.
b. The amount of heat released is proportional to the amounts of reactants.
c. When 104 g C2H2 combusts, about 5200 kJ of heat is released.
d. The enthalpy of combustion per gram acetylene is -49.9 kJ/g
e. To form 2 mol C2H2 and 5 mol O2 from 4 mol CO2 and 2 mol H2O, 2598 kJ of energy is required.
Since the heat of reaction is negative, why isn't the heat of reaction negative for octane, too? Is it because the heat of reaction for octane is before the reaction takes place, and hence before the release of heat? Is this the reason why octane's heat is positive, while the reaction as a whole is negative? Because it must have to do with the conservation of energy. Perhaps the reaction is the system, and octane is part of the surroundings, hence the opposite signs?
