Tema [17]

7.00 of Compound x with molecular formula C3H4 are burned in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 35.00kg of water at 25c.

The temperature of the water is observed to rise by 2.316c. (You may assume all the heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the water, and none by the calorimeter itself.) Calculate the standard heat of formation of Compound x at 25c.
Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 3 significant digits.

Answer:

\Delta H_{f,C_3H_4}=276.8kJ/mol

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the equation we use to model the heat exchange into the calorimeter and compute the heat of reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn} =- m_wC_w\Delta T

We plug in the mass of water, temperature change and specific heat to obtain:

\Delta H_{rxn} =- (35000g)(4.184\frac{J}{g\°C} )(2.316\°C)\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-339.16kJ

Now, this enthalpy of reaction corresponds to the combustion of propyne:

C_3H_4+4O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+2H_2O

Whose enthalpy change involves the enthalpies of formation of propyne, carbon dioxide and water, considering that of propyne is the target:

\Delta H_{rxn}=3\Delta H_{f,CO_2}+2\Delta H_{f,H_2O}-\Delta H_{f,C_3H_4}

However, the enthalpy of reaction should be expressed in kJ per moles of C3H4, so we divide by the appropriate moles in 7.00 g of this compound:

\Delta H_{rxn} =-339.16kJ*\frac{1}{7.00g}*\frac{40.06g}{1mol}=-1940.9kJ/mol

Now, we solve for the enthalpy of formation of C3H4 as shown below:

\Delta H_{f,C_3H_4}=3\Delta H_{f,CO_2}+2\Delta H_{f,H_2O}-\Delta H_{rxn}

So we plug in to obtain (enthalpies of formation of CO2 and H2O are found on NIST data base):

\Delta H_{f,C_3H_4}=3(-393.5kJ/mol)+2(-241.8kJ/mol)-(-1940.9kJ/mol)\\\\\Delta H_{f,C_3H_4}=276.8kJ/mol

Best regards!
