Explain how the heat measured in example 5.5 differs from the enthalpy change for the endothermic reaction described by the following equation

HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq)+H2O(I)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The equation mentioned above differs from the reaction mentioned in example 5.5 in terms of several moles.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Enthalpy

Enthalpy is simply the sum of the internal energy and the product of pressure and volumeH = U + PV

The capacity of a system to do work is the energy of the system. Work is done on or by the system.

When the energy of a system changes as a result of the temperature difference between the system and its surroundings, we refer to that energy transfer as heat (q).

02

Difference

In example 5.5, the heat of the reaction is measured, whereas, in the above equation, the enthalpy of the reaction is mentioned.

Before the introduction of chlorofluorocarbons, sulfur dioxide (enthalpy of vaporization, 6.00 kcal/mol) was used in household refrigerators. What mass of \({\bf{S}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}\)must be evaporated to remove as much heat as evaporation of 1.00 kg of \({\bf{CC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{F}}_{\bf{2}}}\) (enthalpy of vaporization is 17.4 kJ/mol)?

The vaporization reactions for \({\bf{S}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}\)and \({\bf{CC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{F}}_{\bf{2}}}\)are\({\bf{S}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(l)}} \to {\bf{S}}{{\bf{O}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g) and CC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{F(l) }} \to {\bf{CC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{F}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g)}}\), respectively.

Calculate the enthalpy of solution (∆H) for the dissolution) per mole of NH4NO3 under the conditions described in example 5.6.

Aluminum chloride can be formed from its elements:

(i)\({\bf{2Al(s) + 3C}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g)}} \to {\bf{2AlC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{(s) \Delta H^\circ = ?}}\)

Use the reactions here to determine the ΔH° for reaction(i):

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\left( {{\bf{ii}}} \right){\rm{ }}{\bf{HCl(g)}} \to {\bf{HCl(aq) \Delta H^\circ (ii) = - 74}}{\bf{.8 kJ}}}\\{\left( {{\bf{iii}}} \right){\rm{ }}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g) + C}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g)}} \to {\bf{2HCl(g) \Delta H^\circ (iii) = - 185 kJ}}}\\{\left( {{\bf{iv}}} \right){\rm{ }}{\bf{AlC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{(aq)}} \to {\bf{AlC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{(s) \Delta H^\circ (iv) = + 323 kJ}}}\\{\left( {\bf{v}} \right){\rm{ }}{\bf{2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq)}} \to {\bf{2AlC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{(aq) + 3}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g) \Delta H^\circ (v) = - 1049 kJ}}}\end{array}\)

When 1.42 g of iron reacts with 1.80 g of chlorine, 3.22 g of \({\bf{FeC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{2}}}\)(s) and 8.60 kJ of heat is produced. What is the enthalpy change for the reaction when 1 mole of \({\bf{FeC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{2}}}\)(s) is produced?

From the data in Table 5.2, determine which of the following fuels produces the greatest amount of heat per gram when burned under standard conditions: CO(g), CH4(g), or C2H2(g).
