Chapter 5, Problem 5.99QE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Thermochemical equation for the combustion of cyclopropane should be written.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Standard enthalpy of formation of cyclopropane should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Enthalpy$\left(H\right)$: It is the total amount of heat in a particular system.

The value of standard enthalpy change ${\text{ΔH}}^{\text{ο}}$ of the given reaction is calculated by the formula,

  ${\text{ΔH}}_{rxn}^{\circ }\text{=}{{\displaystyle \sum {\text{n}}_{\text{p}}{\text{ΔH}}_{\text{f}}^{\text{ο}}}}_{\left(\text{products}\right)}-{{\displaystyle \sum {\text{n}}_{\text{r}}{\text{ΔH}}_{\text{f}}^{\text{ο}}}}_{\left(\text{reactants}\right)}$

Where,

${\text{ΔH}}_{\text{f}}^{\text{ο}}$ is the standard enthalpies of formation.

n is the number of moles.
