Pentane gas + oxygen gas -> water + carbon dioxide, right? so substitute the chemical symbols in: C5H12 + O2 -> H2O + CO2 i'll leave for you to balance. The principle is called the law of conservation of mass: "The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter can be changed from one form into another, mixtures can be separated or made, and pure substances can be decomposed, but the total amount of mass remains constant. We can state this important law in another way. The total mass of the universe is constant within measurable limits; whenever matter undergoes a change, the total mass of the products of the change is, within measurable limits, the same as the total mass of the reactants. "

Answer from: Quest

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 : $4x (s) + 3o_{2} (g) \rightarrow 2x_{2}o_{3} (s) h rxn = -600 kj/mol$

equation 2 : $2x (s) + 3cl_{2} (g) \rightarrow 2xcl_{3} (s) h rxn = -800 kj/mol$

equation 3 : $4xcl_{3} (s) + 3o_{2} (g) \rightarrow 2x_{2}o_{3} (s) + 6cl_(2} h rxn = -200 kj/mol$

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 : $4xcl_{3} (s) \rightarrow 4x (s) + 6cl_{2} ( h rxn = (+800) \times 2 kj/mol$

let us add equation 1 & 4

$4x (s) + 3o_{2} (g) \rightarrow 2x_{2}o_{3} (s) h rxn = -600 kj/mol$

$4xcl_{3} (s) \rightarrow 4x (s) + 6cl_{2} ( h rxn = (+1600) kj/mol$

$4xcl_{3} )s) + 3o_{2} \rightarrow 2x_{2}o_{3} (s) + 6cl_{2} (g) h rxn = (+1000) kj/mol$

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

Answer from: Quest

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
