Interpretation:
The enthalpy change for the given reaction is to be calculated with the help of thermochemical data.
Concept introduction:
Hess’s Law states that the change in enthalpy for a
The enthalpy change for a reaction is a state function. It depends upon the initial and final states of the system and not on the path followed.
If any reaction is reversed, then the sign of enthalpy change will also reverse. If enthalpy change is positive, then it will become negative and vice versa.
If any reaction is multiplied or divided any number, then its enthalpy change is also multiplied and divided by the same number.

- A 10.00-g sample of acetic acid, HC2H3O2, was burned in a bomb calorimeter in an excess of oxygen. HC2H3O2(l)+2O2(g)2CO2(g)+2H2O(l) The temperature of the calorimeter rose from 25.00C to 35.84C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents is 13.43 kJ/C, what is the enthalpy change for the reaction?arrow_forwardNatural gas companies in the United States use the therm as a unit of energy. One therm is 1105 BTU. (a) How many joules are in one therm? (1J=9.48104BTU) (b) When propane gas, C3H8, is burned in oxygen, CO2 and steam are produced.

- Nitrogen gas is confined in a cylinder with a movable piston under a constant pressure of 9.95 104 Pa. When 695 J of energy in the form of heat is transferred from the gas to the surroundings, its volume decreases by 1.88 L. What is the change in internal energy of the gas?arrow_forwardEthyl alcohol, C2H5OH, is the intoxicating agent in liquor. Burning 1.00 g of ethyl alcohol in an excess of oxygen at 23.28C and constant volume releases 29.52 kJ of heat. When 7.40 g of ethyl alcohol is burned in oxygen under the same conditions in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the bomb and water rises from 23.28C to 48.04C. The bomb holds 0.750 kg of water.

- When solid iron burns in oxygen gas (at constant pressure) to produce Fe2O3(s), 1651 kJ of heat is released for every 4 mol of iron burned. How much heat is released when 10.3 g Fe2O3(s) is produced (at constant pressure)? What additional information would you need to calculate the heat released to produce this much Fe2O3(s) if you burned iron in ozone gas, O3(g), instead of O2(g)?arrow_forwardThe standard molar enthalpy of formation of diborane, B2H6(g), cannot be determined directly because the compound cannot be prepared by the reaction of boron and hydrogen.
