(a)
Interpretation:
The enthalpy of combustion of ethanol needs to be calculated under the given conditions.
Concept Introduction:
Combustion is a thermochemical reaction in which a substance burns in the presence of excess oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.Combustion reactions are exothermic in nature i.e. it is accompanied by the release of energy.
(b)
Interpretation:
The enthalpy of formation of ethanol needs to be calculated under the given conditions.
Concept Introduction:
A thermochemical equation is a balanced stoichiometric equation which depicts the change in the reaction enthalpy i.e. the magnitude and sign of ΔH is added to the right of the equation. The standard enthalpy changefor a reaction
i.e.

- A sample of nickel is heated to 99.8C and placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter containing 150.0 g water at 23.5C. After the metal cools, the final temperature of metal and water mixture is 25.0C. If the specific heat capacity of nickel is 0.444 J/C g, what mass of nickel was originally heated? Assume no heat loss to the surroundings.arrow_forwardGasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol, C2H5OH, is used as automobile fuel. The alcohol releases energy in a combustion reaction with O2. C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l) If 0.115 g ethanol evolves 3.62 kJ when burned at constant pressure, calculate the combustion enthalpy for ethanol.arrow_forwardUse Appendix L to find the standard enthalpies of formation of oxygen atoms, oxygen molecules (O2), and ozone (O3). What is the standard state of oxygen? Is the formation of oxygen atoms from O2 exothermic? What is the enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mol of O3 from O2?arrow_forward
- The decomposition of ozone, O3, to oxygen, O2, is an exothermic reaction. What is the sign of q? If you were to touch a flask in which ozone is decomposing to oxygen, would you expect the flask to feel warm or cool?arrow_forwardThe temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 F. After it passes through the radiator it has a temperature of 175 F. Calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water with a specific heat of 4.184 J/g oC.arrow_forwardEthylene glycol, HOCH2CH2OH, is used as antifreeze. It is produced from ethylene oxide, C2H4O, by the reaction C2H4O(g)+H2O(l)HOCH2CH2OH(l) Use Hesss law to obtain the enthalpy change for this reaction from the following enthalpy changes: 2C2H4O(g)+5O2(g)4CO2(g)+4H2O(l);H=2612.2kJHOCH2CH2OH(l)+52O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l);H=1189.8kJarrow_forward
- A 50-mL solution of a dilute AgNO3 solution is added to 100 mL of a base solution in a coffee-cup calorimeter. As Ag2O(s) precipitates, the temperature of the solution increases from 23.78 C to 25.19 C. Assuming that the mixture has the same specific heat as water and a mass of 150 g, calculate the heat q. Is the precipitation reaction exothermic or endothermic?arrow_forwardMethanol (CH3OH) has also been proposed as an alternative fuel.
