Hi! I am having difficulty with this particular question. Thank you.

Transcribed Image Text:**Heating Curve of 1 Mole of Octane**
**Objective:**
Sketch a heating curve for 1 mole of octane from -57°C to 150°C. Use the provided data and perform necessary calculations for each step.
**Data:**
- **Boiling Point:** 125.7°C
- **Melting Point:** -56.8°C
- **ΔH_vap (Enthalpy of Vaporization):** 41.5 kJ/mol
- **ΔH_fus (Enthalpy of Fusion):** 20.7 kJ/mol
- **Molar Heat Capacity (liquid):** 254.6 J/(mol°C)
- **Molar Heat Capacity (gas):** 316.9 J/(mol°C)
- **Molar Heat Capacity (solid, not given in table):** 255.7 J/(mol°C)
**Instructions:**
1. **Start at -57°C:**
- Octane is in a solid state at this temperature.
- Calculate the energy needed to heat the solid octane to its melting point (-56.8°C).
2. **Melting (-56.8°C):**
- Use ΔH_fus (20.7 kJ/mol) to calculate the energy required for the phase change from solid to liquid.
3. **Heat Liquid to Boiling Point:**
- Calculate the energy required to heat the liquid octane from its melting point (-56.8°C) to its boiling point (125.7°C) using the molar heat capacity of liquid octane.
4. **Vaporization (125.7°C):**
- Use ΔH_vap (41.5 kJ/mol) to calculate the energy needed for the phase change from liquid to gas.
5. **Heat Gas to 150°C:**
- Calculate the energy required to heat the gaseous octane from its boiling point (125.7°C) to 150°C using the molar heat capacity of gaseous octane.
**Graph Explanation:**
- The heating curve will start at the initial temperature of -57°C.
- It will display a slope corresponding to the heating of the solid octane.
- A plateau will represent the phase change from solid to liquid at the melting point.
- The curve will then rise as the liquid octane is heated to the boiling point.
- Another plateau will represent the phase change from liquid
