Calculate the reaction enthalpy δrh when 1 mol of glucose is oxidized to acetic acid at 80°c. 2o2(g)+c6h12o6(s)→2ch3cooh(l)+2co2( g)+2h2o(l) express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.

The reaction enthalpy for the oxidation of 1 mole of glucose is -1,055 kJ.

Explanation:

The standard enthalpy of a reaction can be calculated from the standard enthalpies of formation of each substance, using the following expression:

ΔH°r = ∑n(p).ΔH°f(p) - ∑n(p).ΔH°f(p)

where,

ΔH°r is the standard enthalpy of the reaction

n(i) is the number of  moles of reactants and products in the balanced equation

ΔH°f(i) is the standard enthalpy of formation of reactants and products, which are tabulated.

Considering the balanced equation:

2 O₂(g) + C₆H₁₂O₆(s) → 2 CH₃COOH(l) +2 CO₂(g) +2 H₂O(l)

The standard enthalpy of reaction is:

ΔH°r = [2 x ΔH°f(CH₃COOH(l)) + 2 x ΔH°f(CO₂(g)) + 2 x ΔH°f(H₂O(l))] - [2 x ΔH°f(O₂(g)) + 1 x ΔH°f(C₆H₁₂O₆(s))]

ΔH°r = [2 mol x (-483.5 kJ/mol) + 2 mol x (-393.5 kJ/mol) + 2 mol x (-285.8 kJ/mol)] - [2 mol x 0 kJ/mol + 1mol x (-1,271 kJ/mol)]

ΔH°r = -1,055 kJ

In the balanced equation there is 1 mole of glucose. So, the enthalpy of reaction for such amount is -1,055 kJ (exothermic).

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.
