The heat of formation of CO and CO2 are – 26.4 kCal and – 94 kCal, respectively. Heat of combustion of carbon monoxide will be
The value of ∆H for cooling 2 moles of an ideal monatomic gas from 125°C to 25°C at constant pressure will be `["given C"_"P" = 5/2"R"]`
Given that \[\ce{C_{(g)} + O2_{(g)} -> CO2_{(g)}}\] ∆H° = – a kJ; \[\ce{2CO_{(g)} + O2_{(g)} -> 2CO2_{(g)}}\] ∆H° = – b kJ; Calculate the ∆H° for the reaction \[\ce{C_{(g)} + 1/2O2_{(g)} -> CO_{(g)}}\]
When 15.68 litres of a gas mixture of methane and propane are fully combusted at 0°C and 1 atmosphere, 32 litres of oxygen at the same temperature and pressure are consumed. The amount of heat released from this combustion in kJ is (∆HC(CH4) = – 890 kJ mol−1 and ∆HC(C3H8) = – 2220 kJ mol−1)
Predict the feasibility of a reaction when both ΔH and ΔS negative.
Predict the feasibility of a reaction when ΔH decreases but ΔS increases.
What is the unit of calorific value?
Explain how heat absorbed at constant volume is measured using a bomb calorimeter with a neat diagram.
In a constant volume calorimeter, 3.5 g of gas with molecular weight 28 was burnt in excess oxygen at 298 K. The temperature of the calorimeter was found to increase from 298 K to 298.45 K due to the combustion process. Given that the calorimeter constant is 2.5 kJ K−1. Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of the gas in kJ mol−1.
Calculate the standard heat of formation of propane, if its heat of combustion is −2220.2 kJ mol−1 the heats of formation of \[\ce{CO2_{(g)}}\] and \[\ce{H2O_{(l)}}\] are −393.5 and −285.8 kJ mol−1 respectively.
