Help plz!!! Open to see the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need help in Question no. 10 here ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Methyl Alcohol one

OpenStudy (rane):

omg we just done them last wk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really ??? ^_^

OpenStudy (rane):

yes and i had exam on it also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am good at it but cant solve this Q10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@RANE u said u know this ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which grade are you guys in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11th grade

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so you've done thermodynamics?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this question is solved by adding and subtracting equations from the data

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and multiplying them to get the equation given in Number 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats exactly what I'm trying to do.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

although i am good at it ..but this is a bit confusing one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so are u solving it ? @aditkarekatte

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it -189.4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have not solved it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u give me some starting tips ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see. Try reversing equation 3, and divide equation 2 by 2. Then add like a boss. B-) I think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And divide equation3 by 2 as well. I think I forgot to do that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait i am doing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(Y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have divided eqn 3 by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what to do with eqn 2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply by 2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide that by 2 as well. Subtracting 2O2 - 3/2O2 gives you the 1/2O2 you need.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

MIla kya?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait yar i am doing ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u get 2O2 in eqn 2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, its 2O2 when you add eqn 1 + eqn 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay...first i have to add 1 & 2 right ? without doing anything else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. Then reverse 3 and divide by 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then add, and Bob's your uncle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when u add eqn 1 and 2 u get 3/2O2

OpenStudy (mos1635):

yoy have X2 in eq 2 that makes 1/2O2 to 2*1/2O2 there for O2. plus O2 from eq 1 you have 2 O2

OpenStudy (mos1635):

when you moltiplay or divide you do so to ALL ...an the ΔΗ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks to all!!!!! thank u very much

OpenStudy (mos1635):

give me the resalty to verify....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am going for my dinner..... so u do anything else ...i am coming in 10 mins okay?.....then i'll tell u

OpenStudy (mos1635):

i am not sure if i will be on line then I FIND 792.2

OpenStudy (mos1635):

-792.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply eqn 2 by 2 then add with eqn 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2H2 + C + 202 --> 2H2O +CO2 (H=-966)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this correct till here ^

OpenStudy (mos1635):

yap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay now this is next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Go on...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide eqn 3 by 2 CH3OH +3/2 O2 -----> CO2 + H2O (H=-173.8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (mos1635):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subtract Both eqns above ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No no no. Add 1 and 2, then sebtract 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i added both already eqn 1 + 2*eqn 2

OpenStudy (mos1635):

CH3OH +3/2 O2 -----> CO2 + H2O (H=-173.8) reverce that

OpenStudy (mos1635):

then add

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add with ??

OpenStudy (mos1635):

2H2 + C + 202 --> 2H2O +CO2 (H=-966)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has 2H2O o_o ...how will this cancel ?

OpenStudy (mos1635):

note: when you reverse ghange the sinht to ΔΗ

OpenStudy (mos1635):

have nt you divide by 2????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i divided only eqn 3 by 2....not any other eqn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we divide this by 2 it will ruin others

OpenStudy (mos1635):

give me a moment to look it up from the begining

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's correct, yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (mos1635):

equation 3 is given wrong!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I found that the water does not get balanced. But I overlooked it; it must be a mistake. You can always work around that. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how did u got that -792.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*overlooked as in intentionally

OpenStudy (mos1635):

2 CH3OH + 3O2 ->2 CO2 + 4 H2O

OpenStudy (mos1635):

that is the correct eq 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how will i get this methyl alcohol eqn ?

OpenStudy (mos1635):

use my eq3 do as we have sad so far.....

OpenStudy (mos1635):

eq1 as it is eq2 x2 my eq3 div by 2 and revers add

OpenStudy (mos1635):

this paper you have has also wrong numbers in Q1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my answer is -822.2

OpenStudy (mos1635):

-394 -286x2= -572 -347.6/2=-173.8 reverse = +173.8 total=-792.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (mos1635):

ok
