Answer:
The net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide is -470.4 kJ/mol.
Explanation:
Step 1 : Calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide
..[1]
Step 2 : Acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid
..[2]
Using Hess's law:
[1] × 6 + [2]
The energy released on formation of 5 moles of acrylic acid = -2352 kJ
The energy released on formation of 1 moles of acrylic acid :
Hence, the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide is -470.4 kJ/mol.
