How much heat is produced by burning 4.00 moles of acetylene under standard conditions?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The heat produced by burning 4 mol of acetylene under standard conditions is 5204.4 kJ.

Step by step solution

01

Reaction of acetylene with oxygen

Note that the enthalpy of combustion ofacetylene (∆H) = -1301.1 kJ/mol.

The equation representing the burning of 1mol of acetylene is:

C2H2(g) + O2 --> CO2(g) + H2O(l)

02

Calculation of heat

Enthalpy of combustion of acetylene is -1301.1 kJ/mol.

The heat produced by burning 1 mol of acetylene under standard conditions = -1301.1kJ/mol.

Therefore, the heat produced by burning 4mol of acetylene under standard conditions

= 4 × (-1301.1 kJ)

= -5204.4 kJ

From the molar heats of formation in Appendix G, determine how much heat is required to evaporate one mole of water:\({{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{O}}\left( {\bf{l}} \right) \to {{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{O}}\left( {\bf{g}} \right)\)

When a 3.00-g sample of KCl was added to 3.00×102 g of water in a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature decreased by 1.05 °C. How much heat is involved in the dissolution of the KCl? What assumptions did you make?

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?

The addition of 3.15g of Ba(OH)2.8H2O to a solution of 1.52g of NH4SCN in 100g of water in a calorimeter caused the temperature to fall by 3.1˚C. Assuming the specific heat of the solution and products is 4.20J/g˚C, calculate the approximate amount of heat absorbed by the reaction, which can be represented by the following equation:
Ba(OH)2.8H2O(s) + 2NH4SCN (aq) -------> Ba(SCN)2(aq) + 2NH3(aq) + 10H2O(l)

Ethylene, \({{\bf{C}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}\), a byproduct from the fractional distillation of petroleum, is fourth among the 50 chemical compounds produced commercially in the largest quantities. About 80% of synthetic ethanol is manufactured from ethylene by its reaction with water in the presence of a suitable catalyst. \({{\bf{C}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g) + }}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{O(g)}} \to {{\bf{C}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{5}}}{\bf{OH(l)}}\).Using the data in the table inAppendix G, calculate ΔH° for the reaction.
