    I'd have such a better average if it weren't for ISAs ugh!

    wow 60/60 mashallah. I got 36/60, i got 255/300 in my AS, so my isa has pulled it down. I've firmed Aston for Pharmacy. One of friends has got an offer for Accounting and Finance at Warwick. Its supposed be a good university for Accounting.
    Inshallah i can make it in

    Pharmacy is meant to be good at Aston, i had a 2-3 friends go there last yr.


    I feel really unprepared for this exam as i still haven't memorised all the colour changes and the reactions that go along with them

    ok so I am really finding this question hard....can someone please help.....
    calculate deltaHf for propane C3H8, given the following data.
    C(s) ..................> C(g) deltaH = 715 KJmol-1

    3C(s) + 4H2(g)....................> C3H8 (g)

    Bond = C-C C-H H-H
    KJmol-1 = 348 412 436

    please .......:confused::o:confused:

    Isn't it just bonds broken - bonds formed.
    So 3x348 + 4x436 - 8x412 - 2x348 = -1204

    apparently this is the method:-
    deltaHf = (3xdeltaH atomistaion (c) + 4xE(H-H) - (2xE(C-C)+8xE(C-H)
    = (3x715+4x436) - (2x348+8x412)
    = -103KJmol-1

    but how?????????

    do we need to be able to state plancks constant??

    I think we just have to know the equation and what it stand for:-
    deltaE = hv
    energy=plancks contant x frequency.....

    correct me if I am wrong someone...

    The specification states: 'Know that the colour arises from electronic transitions from the ground state to excited states. E=hv'

    There is nothing abut being able to state planks consant, I expect they would it give to you if a calculation on this comes up.

    Oh I'm not sure... Is it a Hess Cycle?

    its a complicated example that might come up because it is using combination of different data, partly mean bond data and atomisation data but what i dont understand is why (C-C) not multiplied by 3 in the second part....

    Oh yeah, of course, I see. There are no c-c bonds in the reactants but the carbon is in a solid state but needs to be in a gas state for formation. You missed out the enthalpy of atomisation when you posted the question...

    If you mean the second part, as in the C3H8, it's because the structure is H3C-CH2-CH3 so there are only two C-C bonds.

    Ok, that means the answer is that the reaction becomes unfeasible.

    This is because delta h and delta s are both negative so if t is higher than what you calculated, delta g will be higher than 0.

    thanks, what would happen if delta h was positive and delta s was negative

    or delta h was negative and delta s was positive
