Question

How many kilojoules of heat are produced when 34.0 g of Fe2O3 reacts with an excess of CO according to the following reaction? Fe2O3 + 3 CO 2 Fe + 3 CO2 ΔH = -26.3 kJ

Answer 1

The heat produced when iron oxide reacts with carbon monoxide is -23.47 kJ/mol.

What is the enthalpy of reaction?

The standard enthalpy of the reaction is given by the enthalpy of formation of the products and the reactants. The reactants and the products of the reaction are:

Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3CO (g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂ (g)

We know,

The standard enthalpy of formation of iron oxide = −825.50 kJ/mol

The standard enthalpy of formation of carbon monoxide = −110.53 kJ/mol

The standard enthalpy of formation of carbon dioxide = −393.52 kJ/mol

The standard enthalpy of reaction is calculated as:

$\rm \Delta H_{rxn}$ = [2(0) + 3(−393.52)] - [1(-825.50) + 3(-110.53)]

= (0−1180.56+825.50+331.59)

= −23.47 kJ/mol

Therefore, −23.47 kJ/mol is produced.
