Glycine, C2H5O2N, is important for biological energy. The combustion reaction of glycine is described by the following thermochemical equation. 4C2H5O2N(s) + 9O2(g) → 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l) + 2N2(g) ΔH°rxn=-3857 kj/mol. What is the energy transfer in the oxidation of 17.00g of glycine?

Solutions

Expert Solution

4 C2H5O2N(s) + 9O2(g) ------------------- 8 CO2(g) + 10 H2O(l) + 2 N2(g)   ΔH°rxn=-3857 kj/mol

4 mole

molar mass of glycine= 75.07 g/mole

mass of one mole of glycine = 75.07 grams

mass of 4 moles of glycine = 4 x75.07 = 300.28 grams

according to equation

energy is transferred from 300.28 grams of glycine = 3857 Kj

enegy is transfereed from 17.00 grams of glycine = ?

                                                                                     = 3857 x 17.00/300.28 = 218.36 KJ

Energy transferred during the oxidatioong glycine 218.36 KJ

A combustion reaction is described as a carbon source reacting with oxygen and producing carbon dioxide and water. A common example of this reaction is methane reacting with oxygen gas in the following reaction: CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) -> CO2 (g) + 2H2O (g) What would the standard entropy change be, if 20 g of methane reacted with 20 g of oxygen?
