4. Liquid Ethanol burns in oxygen to form carbon dioxide gas and liquid water. a. Write the balanced thermochemical equation for this reaction (2) b. Using the standard enthalpies of formation, determine the enthalpy change associated with the combustion of one mole of ethanol (4) c. If of ethanol is burned how much heat is released (2)
Expert Answer
For (a) : Given thermochemical equation is : This equation is not balanced, to balance this we have to multiply , We get , This is the balanced equation.
