I he enthaipy of combustion benzo1c acid \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{COOH}\right)\) is commonly used as the standard for calibrating constant-volume bomb calorimeters; its value has been accurately determined to be \(-3226.7 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\). When \(1.9862 \mathrm{~g}\) of benzoic acid are burned in a calorimeter, the temperature rises from \(21.84^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(25.67^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). What is the heat capacity of the bomb? (Assume that the quantity of water surrounding the bomb is exactly \(2000 \mathrm{~g} .)\)
Explain the meaning of this thermochemical equation: $$ \begin{aligned} 4 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)+5 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{NO}(g) &+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g) \\ \Delta H=&-904 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \end{aligned} $$
Producer gas (carbon monoxide) is prepared by passing air over red-hot coke: $$ \mathrm{C}(s)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}(g) $$ Water gas (mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen) is prepared by passing steam over red-hot coke: $$ \mathrm{C}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}(g)+\mathrm{H}_{2}(g) $$ For many years, both producer gas and water gas were used as fuels in industry and for domestic cooking. The large-scale preparation of these gases was carried out alternately, that is, first producer gas, then water gas, and so on. Using thermochemical reasoning, explain why this procedure was chosen.
A gas expands and does \(P-V\) work on the surroundings equal to \(325 \mathrm{~J}\). At the same time, it absorbs \(127 \mathrm{~J}\) of heat from the surroundings. Calculate the change in energy of the gas.
The standard enthalpy change \(\Delta H^{\circ}\) for the thermal decomposition of silver nitrate according to the following equation is \(+78.67 \mathrm{~kJ}\) : $$ \mathrm{AgNO}_{3}(s) \longrightarrow \mathrm{AgNO}_{2}(s)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) $$ The standard enthalpy of formation of \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}(s)\) is \(-123.02 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\). Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{2}(s)\).
