Heyy, I need help solving the Hess law questions and the enthalpy changes of formation and combustion etc.
All of them seem to have a different way to them. Any help?

Which compound might X be? In its reaction with sodium, 1mol of a compound X gives 1mol of H2(g).

A CH3CH2CH2CH2OH B (CH3)3COH C CH3CH2CH2CO2H D CH3CH(OH)CO2H

Answer is D, but how?

There is a simple concept behind them. Why not post a question?






What is the enthalpy change under standard conditions for the following reaction? The standard enthalpy changes of formation of iron(II) oxide, FeO(s), and aluminium oxide, Al2O3(s), are and –266kJmol–1 and -1676kJmol-1 respectively.

What is the enthalpy change under standard conditions for the following reaction?


2O3(s)(s) 3Fe(s) + Al 3FeO(s) + 2Al

Shouldn't it be Reactants - Products?
So, 3x(-266) - (-1676)= +878kJmol-1?

One MOLE of H2 means there must be TWO Hydrogen atoms released per molecule being released.

Compound A and B both only have one alcohol functional group. Both will release ONE Hydrogen atom per molecule, but that will only be HALF a mole of H2.
Compound C only has one carboxylic acid group and so releases only HALF a mole of H2.
Compound D has one carboxylic acid group and one alcohol group. In total, it will release TWO hydrogen atoms per molecule which is same as saying ONE mole of H2 per mole of compound.

What you have written doesn't look like a reaction to me.

Which reagent would react with prop-2-en-1-ol to form a product that could exist as optical isomers?
Why is it bromine and not PCl5?
