Question

General Chemistry I Laboratory Manua), 2017 Revision 113 Hess' Law Pre-Lab Name: Date: Determine the }{ for the reaction shown below using standard heat of ormation values from your textbook. Fe(s) + 3/4O2(g) 1/2Fe,Ols) 1 ) For the reaction above, how much heat would be liberated by the combustion of 3.00 g of iron metal in excess oxygen? 2) what would be the final temperature of the calorimeter if its initial temperature were 23.0? 3) If 4.00 g of iron metal are reacted in a calorimeter with a heat capacity of 400.

Explanation / Answer

1) Fe(s) <------> 3/4O2(g) + 1/2 Fe2O3(s)

Hrxn = Hf° (products) - Hf°(reactants)

=(1/2 × Hf°(Fe2O3)) - (1× Hf°(Fe) + 3/4 ×Hf°(O2))

=( -824.2kJ/mol) - (0)

= - 824.2kJ/mol

2) No of mole of Fe = 3g/55.845g/mol =0.05372

1mole of Fe combustion release 824.2kJ of heat

Heat liberated by 0.05372mol of Fe= (824.2kJ/1mol)×0.05372mol = 44.28kJ

3) No of mole of Fe = 4g/55.485g/mol =0.07209

H = -824.2kJ × 0.07209 = -59.42kJ

Heat absorbed by Calorimeter is q

q= -H

q = T × C

59.42kJ = T × 0.400J/

T = 59.42kJ/0.400kJ/

= 148.55

T = Final temperature - Initial temperature

148.55 = Final temperature - 23

Final temperature = 148.55 + 23

= 171.55
