The water-gas shift reaction describes the reaction of carbon monoxide and water vapor to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen (the

mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is known as water gas):
CO(g)+H2O(g)→CO2(g)+H2(g)

This reaction is an important industrial reaction that is used in the manufacture of ammonia, hydrocarbons, methanol, and hydrogen.

Use the following information to calculate ΔH∘ in kilojoules for the water-gas shift reaction:

C(s)+O2(g)→CO2(g) ΔH∘=−393.5kJ
2CO(g)→2C(s)+O2(g) ΔH∘=+221.0kJ
2H2(g)+O2(g)→2H2O(g) ΔH∘=−483.6kJ

Answer:

ΔH∘ = - 41.2 KJ

Explanation:

We want to obtain the change in enthalpy for the reaction

CO(g) + H₂O(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂(g) (Main reaction)

And we're given the heat of formation of the reactants and products in the reaction

C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) ΔH∘=−393.5kJ (Reaction A)

2CO(g) → 2C(s) + O₂(g) ΔH∘=+221.0kJ (Reaction B)

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g) ΔH∘=−483.6kJ (Reactions C)

To achieve this, we use the Born-Haber cycle.

The Born-Haber cycle entails writing the change in enthalpy of a reaction as a sum of change in enthalpies of a number of reactions that sum up to give the reaction whose enthalpy we needed from the start.

The main reaction is a sum of a sort of combination of Reactions A, B and C. We find this combination now.

From the reactions whose change in enthalpies are given,

C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) ΔH∘=−393.5kJ (Reaction A)

2CO(g) → 2C(s) + O₂(g) ΔH∘=+221.0kJ (Reaction B)

Dividing through by 2

CO(g) → C(s) + (1/2)O₂(g) ΔH∘=+110.5kJ (the enthalpy is divided by 2 too)

This reaction becomes (Reaction B)/2

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g) ΔH∘=−483.6kJ (Reactions C)

Changing the direction of the reaction

2H₂O(g) → 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) ΔH∘=483.6kJ (the sign on the change in enthalpy changes)

Then, dividing by 2

2H₂O(g) → 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) ΔH∘=+483.6kJ

H₂O(g) → H₂(g) + (1/2)O₂(g) ΔH∘=241.8kJ (the change in enthalpy is divided by 2 too)

This reaction becomes (-Reaction C)/2

But, now, our main reaction can be written as a sum of these new Reactions,

Main Reaction = (Reaction A) + [(Reaction B)/2] + [(- Reaction C)/2]

C(s) + O₂(g) + CO(g) + H₂O(g) → CO₂(g) + C(s) + (1/2)O₂(g) + H₂(g) + (1/2)O₂(g)

Which gives the main reaction after eliminating the O2 that appears on both sides.

CO(g) + H₂O(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂(g)

Hence,

(ΔH∘ for the main reaction) = (ΔH∘ for reaction A) + [(ΔH∘/2) for reaction B) - [(ΔH∘/2) for reaction C)

ΔH∘ = - 393.5 + (221/2) - (-483.6/2) = - 41.2 KJ

Assuming acid strength relates directly to number of O atoms bonded to the central atom, rank H₂N₂O₂ [or (HON)₂]; HNO₃ (or HONO₂
Elenna [48]

For Less number of oxygen atoms will be less acidic. Therefore, the rank will be.... So there is 1 oxygen atom bonded to each of the 2 nitrogen atoms.

For HNO3 or {HONO}2. So there are 3 oxygen atoms bonded to the nitrogen.

For HNO2 or HONO. So there are 2 oxygen atoms bonded to the nitrogen.

Less number of oxygen atoms will be less acidic. Therefore, the rank will be...

HNO3>HNO2>H2N2O2

Acid strength is the tendency of an acid, symbolized by the chemical formula, to dissociate into a proton, and an anion, The dissociation of a strong acid in solution is effectively complete, except in its most concentrated solutions.

The strength of a weak organic acid may depend on substituent effects. The strength of an inorganic acid depends on the atom’s oxidation state to which the proton may be attached. Acid strength is solvent-dependent. For example, hydrogen chloride is a strong acid in an aqueous solution but is a weak acid when dissolved in glacial acetic acid.
