1) As for its chemical composition, coal is a mixture of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic compounds, such as benzene C6H6, toluene C6H5CH3, xylene C6H4(CH3)2, naphthalene C10H8, anthracene C14H10, pyrene C16H10 and their derivatives with high mass fraction of carbon, as well as of water and volatile substances.

2) The coal asphaltenes have a relatively narrow MWD (full width ≈ 150 amu) with an average molecular weight of ≈340 amu. The petroleum asphaltenes display a broader MWD (full width ≈ 300 amu) and are heavier on average (≈680 amu).

Find the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene, C2H4(g), given the following data: C2H4(g) + 3 O2(g) --> 2CO2(g) + 2 H2O

Brums [2.3K]

Answer : The standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 52.4 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The formation reaction of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$2C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)$ $\Delta H_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) $C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_1=-1411kJ$

(2) $C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-393.5kJ$

(3) $H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=-285.8kJ$

Now we will reverse the reaction 1, multiply reaction 2 and 3 by 2 then adding all the equation, we get :

(1) $2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=+1411kJ$

(2) $2C(s)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=2\times (-393.5kJ)=-787kJ$

(3) $2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=2\times (-285.8kJ)=-571.6kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(+1411kJ)+(-787kJ)+(-571.6kJ)$

$\Delta H=52.4kJ$

Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 52.4 kJ

Explain the difference between a physical property and chemical property. Give examples of each.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

A physical property is what a substance is like; it's directly observable. On the other hand, a chemical property is how a substance behaves; its reactivity.

Examples of a physical property are: color, texture, boiling point, freezing point, and melting point.

Examples of a chemical property are: flammability, combustion, and formation of a precipitate.
