- From the data given in Appendix I, determine the standard enthalpy change and the standard free energy change for each of the following reactions: (a) BF3(g)+3H2O(l)B(OH)3(s)+3HF(g) (b) BCl3(g)+3H2O(l)B(OH)3+3HCl(g) (c) B2H6(g)+6H2O(l)2B(OH)3(s)+6H2(g)arrow_forwardCoal is used as a fuel in some electric-generating plants. Coal is a complex material, but for simplicity we may consider it to be a form of carbon. The energy that can be derived from a fuel is sometimes compared with the enthalpy of the combustion reaction: C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g) Calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction at 25C. Actually, only a fraction of the heat from this reaction is available to produce electric energy. In electric generating plants, this reaction is used to generate heat for a steam engine, which turns the generator. Basically the steam engine is a type of heat engine in which steam enters the engine at high temperature (Th), work is done, and the steam then exits at a lower temperature (Tl). The maximum fraction, f, of heat available to produce useful energy depends on the difference between these temperatures (expressed in kelvins), f = (Th Tl)/Th. What is the maximum heat energy available for useful work from the combustion of 1.00 mol of C(s) to CO2(g)? (Assume the value of H calculated at 25C for the heat obtained in the generator.) It is possible to consider more efficient ways to obtain useful energy from a fuel. For example, methane can be burned in a fuel cell to generate electricity directly. The maximum useful energy obtained in these cases is the maximum work, which equals the free-energy change. Calculate the standard free-energy change for the combustion of 1.00 mol of C(s) to CO2(g). Compare this value with the maximum obtained with the heat engine described here.arrow_forwardDoes the standard enthalpy of formation of H2O(g) differ from H for the reaction 2H2(g)+O2(g)2H2O(g)?arrow_forward

- Water gas, a mixture of H2 and CO, is an important industrial fuel produced by the reaction of steam with red hot coke, essentially pure carbon: C(s)+H2O(g)CO(g)+H2(g). (a) Assuming that coke has the same enthalpy of formation as graphite, calculate H298 for this reaction. (b) Methanol, a liquid fuel that could possibly replace gasoline, can be prepared from water gas and additional hydrogen at high temperature and pressure in the presence of a suitable catalyst: 2H2(g)+CO(g)CH2OH(g). Under the conditions of the reaction, methanol forms as a gas. Calculate for this reaction and for the condensation of gaseous methanol to liquid methanol.
