8.) Incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons leads to the generation of carbon monoxide rather than carbon dioxide. As a result, improperly vented furnaces can poison people who live in an affected building because of the toxicity of CO. Calculate the heat of reaction for the incomplete combustion of methane, CH4(g), to yield liquid water and CO(g).

Copper has been used for thousands of years, either as a pure metal or in alloys. It is frequently used today in the production of wires and cables. Copper can be obtained through smelting or recycling. Determine the energy associated with each of these processes in order to recycle 1.40 mol Cu. The smelting of copper occurs by the balanced chemical equation: CuO(s) +CO(g) → Cu(s) +CO,(g) where AHtCuo is = - 155 kJ/mol.
