How much heat (in kJ) is released when 15.0 L of CO at 85°C and 112 kPa reacts with 14.4 L of H2 at 75°C and 744 torr?
1 answer:
Heat energy released is - 31.4 kJ.
<u>Explanation:</u>
CO₍g₎ + 2H₂₍g₎ → CH₃OH₍l₎
Volume of CO, V ₍CO₎ = 15 L = 0.015 m³
Pressure = 112 kPa = 112,000 Pa
T= 85 ⁰C = 85 + 273 = 358 K
As per ideal gas law,
PV = nRT
n =
= 112000 × 0.015 / 8.314 × 358
n(CO) = 0.56 moles
Volume of H₂ = 14.4 L = 0.0144 m³
Pressure = 744 torr = 99191.84 Pa
T= 75⁰C + 273 K = 348 K
n(H₂) = 99191.84 ×0.0144 m³ / 8.314 ×348 K
= 0.49 moles of H₂
The above calculation shows that hydrogen is the limiting reagent.
n(CH₃OH) = n(H₂) /2
= 0.49/2 = 0.245 mol
ΔH₍rxn₎ = ΔH₍f₎ (CH₃OH) - ΔH₍f₎(CO)
= -238.6 -(-110.5)
= -128.1 kJ/mol
Now we have to multiply ΔH₍rxn₎ with the moles of methanol.
E = ΔH₍rxn₎ × n(CH₃OH) = -128.1 ×0.245
= - 31.4 kJ.

Explanation:
let the ladder is of mass "m" and standing at an angle with the ground
So here by horizontal force balance we will have
by vertical force balance we have
now by torque balance about contact point on ground we will have
so we will have
now from first equation we have
