Question

Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. Round your answer to the nearest .

Answer 1

Answer:

-471 Kj/mole acrylic acid

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: CaC (s) + 2 H2O(g) - CH (9) + Ca(OH),(s) AH -414. kJ In the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6 C H (9) + 3 CO2(9) + 4H2O(g) - SCH,CHCO,H) AH-132. kJ Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. Round your answer to the nearest kJ. x 5 ?

The two equations from the reaction can be written as;

a)CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) ------->C₂H₂(g) + CaOH₂(s)

Δ H= -414Kj ........................ equation (a)

b)6C₂H₂(g) +3CO₂(g)+4H₂O(g) -------> 5CH₂CHCO₂H(g) Δ H= 132Kj ...................... equation (b)

In equation (b)acrylic acid was produced by the reaction between Acetylene carbon dioxide and water

Then we can multiply equation(a) by factor of 6 and the ΔH Then we have (6× -414Kj)= ΔH= -2484Kj.

6CaC₂(s) + 12H₂O(l) ------->6C₂H₂(g) + 6CaOH₂(s)

Δ H= -2484Kj.................. equation (c)

6C₂H₂(g) +3CO₂(g)+4H₂O(g) -------> 5CH₂CHCO₂H(g) Δ H= 132Kj

Then add equation (c) and equation(b) then we have

6CaC₂(s) + 16H₂O(l)+3CO₂(g)------> 5CH₂CHCO₂H(g) + 6CaOH₂(s) ΔH= -2352Kj

ΔH(net)= -2352Kj/5moles

=-471Kj/mole

therefore, net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. Round your answer to the nearest kJ. x 5 ? is -471Kj/mole acrylic acid
