Question

using only the following information


delta H Formation for NO(g)=+90.4 kj/mol

delta H = -56.6 kj/mol for the reaction NO +1/2 O2----NO2


determine delta H formation for NO2


b) using on the answer above and the following

delta H =-283 kj/mol for reaction CO + 1/2 O2 ------CO2

determine delta H for the reaction 4CO + 2NO2 ------4CO2 +N2


C)a 10L vessal contains 5.0atm of CO and 3 atm of NO2 at 25 C. How much heat in joules will be liberated if this is allowed to react to completion according to the reaction in part b.


d) in a sperate experiment using a very large reaction vessal with a movable piston 6 moles of CO2 reacts completely with 3 moles of nitrogen gas according to the following equation at 25 C and with a constant external pressure of 2 atm

4CO2 + 2N ------4CO +2NO2


calculate delta U,q,w for this reaction

Explanation / Answer

a)

delta H of reaction= delta H formation of NO2 -delta H Formation for NO(g

-56.6 kj/mol =delta H formation of NO2-90

delta H formation of NO2= 33.4 KJ/mol


b) delta H =-283 kj/mol for reaction CO + 1/2 O2 ------CO2

-283 =delta H CO2-delta H CO ......................(1)

delta H for the reaction 4CO + 2NO2 ------4CO2 +N2

delta H= 4*(delta H CO- delta H CO) -2*delta H NO2

from 1 -283 =delta H CO2-delta H CO and from a delta H formation of NO2= 33.4 KJ/mol

using

delta H =4*(283)-2*33.4

= 1098.6 KJ/mol



c)

no. of moles of NO2 = 3*10/0.082*298= 1.226 moles

no. of moles of CO =5*10/0.0821*298 = 2.043 moles

reaction is 4CO + 2NO2 ------4CO2 +N2

moles reacted =2.04/2 =1.021 moles

hence heat of reaction = 1.021*1098.6 =1122.22 KJ
