Interpretation: The additional data required to determine the
Concept introduction:
Chemical reactions proceed with the absorption (endothermic) or evolution (exothermic) of heat.- Enthalpy change or the change in the energy of a chemical reaction can be deduced in terms of the enthalpy of formation of the products and reactants.
- The enthalpy of formation of any chemical system in its natural state is zero.
Answer to Problem 9.101PAE
Solution: The data showing the standard enthalpy of formation of solid silicon dioxide is required.
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is:
Reaction enthalpy can be calculated using the following equation
nproducts and nreactants are the number of moles of products and reactants respectively
Based on equation (1) for the given reaction we can write:
Therefore,
The standard enthalpy of formation of solid silicon dioxide is required to calculate the enthalpy of formation of silicon nitride.

- The head of a strike anywhere match contains tetraphosphorus trisulfide, P4S3. In an experiment, a student burned this compound in an excess of oxygen and found that it evolved 3651 kJ of heat per mole of P4S3 at a constant pressure of 1 atm. She wrote the following thermochemical equation: P4S3(s)+8O2(g)P4O10(s)+3SO2(g);H=3651kJ Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of P4S3, using this students result and the following standard enthalpies of formation: P4O10(s), 3009.9 kJ/mol; SO2(g), 296.8 kJ/mol.

- 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_forward9.103 One reason why the energy density of a fuel is important is that to move a vehicle one must also move its unburned fuel. Octane is a major component of gasoline. It burns according to the reaction 2C8H18(l)+25O2(g)16CO2(g)+18H2O(g) H = 1.10104 kJ Starting from this thermochemical equation, describe how you would determine the energy density, in kJ/g, for octane.
