using the bond energies and the balanced equation provided, calculate the delta H combustion of one mole of glucose. a.determine total bond energy for reactants. b.determine total bond energy for products. c.calculate the difference...heat of combustion.

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

do you have any more information

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would you like?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

the bond energies and balanced equations provided :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL yes I guess that would help! give me a minute :)

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its actually a picture

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

alright thats fine

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

\[\Delta H(reaction)=\Sigma \Delta H(products) - \Sigma \Delta H(reactants)\]

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

this is Hess's law

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was just seeing if I had it correct....I guess I just add all the AVG bond energies up to get a total bond energy?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

yes that is technically correct say it gives you the bond H-O and tells you much average energy that bond has and if you have 2 of those H-O bonds such as in water then you add them up and that is the total bond energy of water.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about the OH bonds...it doesn't give me a avg bond energy...may be a silly question. I believe that is what may be throwing me off.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am at work right now but almost done and after I can draw out what I have and show you what I got for answers...

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

yes that would be nice i will check over your work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)
