Calculate ∆H for the reaction described by the equation. (Hint: use the value for the approximate amount of heat absorbed by the reaction that you calculated in a previous exercise.)

Ba(OH)2. 8H2O(s) + 2NH4SCN(aq) → Ba(SCN)2(aq) + 2NH3(aq) + 10H2O(l)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The enthalpy of the reaction is 140 kJ/mol.

Step by step solution

01

Given the data

The given mass of Ba(OH)2.8H2O is 3.15g.

The heat of the reaction is q= 1.4 kJ (from the previous exercise).

02

Calculation of enthalpy

The number of moles of Ba(OH)2.8H2O is evaluated as:

Number of moles = \(\frac{{3.15g}}{{315.44g/mol}}\)

= 0.00999 mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of the reaction can be determined by the formula:

Enthalpy = Heat of the reaction (q)/ no of moles

The known values are substituted:

\begin{aligned}Enthalpy=\frac{{1.4kJ}}{{0.00999mol}}\\=140kJ/mol\end{aligned}

Hence, ∆H = 140 kJ/mol.

A sample of 0.562 g of carbon is burned in oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, producing carbon dioxide. Assume both the reactants and products are under standard state conditions, and that the heat released is directly proportional to the enthalpy of combustion of graphite. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 26.74 °C to 27.93 °C. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents?

Aluminum chloride can be formed from its elements:

(i)\({\bf{2Al(s) + 3C}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g)}} \to {\bf{2AlC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{(s) \Delta H^\circ = ?}}\)

Use the reactions here to determine the ΔH° for reaction(i):

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\left( {{\bf{ii}}} \right){\rm{ }}{\bf{HCl(g)}} \to {\bf{HCl(aq) \Delta H^\circ (ii) = - 74}}{\bf{.8 kJ}}}\\{\left( {{\bf{iii}}} \right){\rm{ }}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g) + C}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g)}} \to {\bf{2HCl(g) \Delta H^\circ (iii) = - 185 kJ}}}\\{\left( {{\bf{iv}}} \right){\rm{ }}{\bf{AlC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{(aq)}} \to {\bf{AlC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{(s) \Delta H^\circ (iv) = + 323 kJ}}}\\{\left( {\bf{v}} \right){\rm{ }}{\bf{2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq)}} \to {\bf{2AlC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{(aq) + 3}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g) \Delta H^\circ (v) = - 1049 kJ}}}\end{array}\)

Ethanol, \({{\bf{C}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{5}}}{\bf{OH}}\), is used as a fuel for motor vehicles, particularly in Brazil.

(a) Write the balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol to CO2(g) and H2O(g), and, using the data in Appendix G, calculate the enthalpy of combustion of 1 mole of ethanol.

(b) The density of ethanol is 0.7893 g/ml. Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of exactly 1 L of ethanol.

(c) Assuming that an automobile’s mileage is directly proportional to the heat of combustion of the fuel, calculate how much farther an automobile could be expected to travel on 1 L of gasoline than on 1 L of ethanol. Assume that gasoline has the heat of combustion and the density of n–octane, \({{\bf{C}}_{\bf{8}}}{{\bf{H}}_{{\bf{18}}}}\) (ΔHf=

- 208.4 kJ/mol; density = 0.7025 g/mL).

Calculate \[{\bf{\Delta H}}_{{\bf{298 }}}^{\bf{^\circ }}\] for the process \[{\bf{C}}{{\bf{o}}_{\bf{3}}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{4}}}\left( {\bf{s}} \right) \to {\bf{3Co}}\left( {\bf{s}} \right){\bf{ + 2}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}\left( {\bf{g}} \right)\]

from the following information:

\[\begin{array}{c}{\bf{Co(s) + }}\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g)}} \to {\bf{CoO(s) \Delta H}}_{{\bf{298}}}^{\bf{^\circ }}{\bf{ = - 237}}{\bf{.9kJ}}\\{\bf{3CoO(s) + }}\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g)}} \to {\bf{C}}{{\bf{o}}_{\bf{3}}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{4}}}{\bf{(s) \Delta H}}_{{\bf{298}}}^{\bf{^\circ }}{\bf{ = - 177}}{\bf{.5kJ}}\end{array}\]
