Question

1. Copper(I) oxide is converted to copper(II) oxide according to the following equation:

Cu2O(s) + ½O2(g) 2 CuO(s)
with H° = -146 kJ.
Given that Hf° for Cu2O(s) = -168.6 kJ/mol, what is Hf° for CuO(s)?

2. Calculate the mass of methane that must be burned to provide enough heat to convert 390.0 g of water at 26.0°C into steam at 122.0°C. (Assume that the H2O produced in the combustion reaction is steam rather than liquid water.)

3. Compute the standard free energy change for the following reaction.
O3(g) + NO(g) NO2(g) + O2(g)

Explanation / Answer

Answer – 1) We are given, reaction –

Cu2O(s) + ½O2(g) ------> 2 CuO(s) H° = -146 kJ

Hf° for Cu2O(s) = -168.6 kJ/mol , Hf° for CuO(s) = ?

We know,

H°rxn = sum of the Hf° for product - sum of the Hf° for reactant

-146 kJ = [2* Hf° CuO(s)] – [Hf° Cu2O(s) + ½ *Hf° O2]

-146 kJ = 2* Hf° CuO(s) – (-168.6 kJ – ½ 0.00)

-146 kJ = 2* Hf° CuO(s) + 168.6 kJ

-146 kJ -168.6 kJ = 2* Hf° CuO(s)

So, 2*Hf° CuO(s) = -314.6

So, Hf° CuO(s) = -314.6 kJ / 2

                            = -157.3 kJ


2) Given, mass of water = 390.0 g , ti = 26.0oC, tf = 122.0oC

We need to calculate the heat from 26oC to 100oC

So, heat q1 = m*C*t

                 = 390 g * 4.184 J/goC * (100-26)oC

                 = 120750.2 J

Heat from 100oC to 100oC

We know,

Heat, q2 = Hvap * m

              = 2260 J/g * 390 g

              = 881400 J

Heat from 100oC to 120oC

Heat, q3 = m * C * t

               = 390 g * 2.010 J/goC * (120-100)oC

              = 15678 J

So total heat q = q1+ q2+ q3

                        = 120750.2 J + 881400 J +15678 J

                       = 1.018*106 J

We know reaction,

CH4 + 2 O2 -----> CO2 + 2 H2O ,

Ho = -1.018*106 J

So, Ho rxn = sum of the Hf° for product - sum of the Hf° for reactant

                     = [Hf° CO2 + 2*Hf° H2O] – [Hf° CH4 + 2*Hf° O2]

                      = (-393.51 + 2*-241.82) – (-74.85 + 2*0.0)

                     = -802.3 J

So, for 1 moles of CH4 = -802.3 J

So,          ?                     = -1.018*106 J

= - 1.018*106 J * 1 moles of CH4 / -802.3 J

= 1268.6 moles

Mass of CH4 = 1268.6 moles * 16.0426 g/mol

                      = 20352.3 g of CH4

3) Given, O3(g) + NO(g) -----> NO2(g) + O2(g)

G°rxn = sum of the Gf° for product - sum of the Gf° for reactant

            = [ Gf° NO2(g) + Gf° O2] – [Gf° O3(g) +Gf° NO]

             = (51.30 + 0.0) – ( 163.18 + 86.57)

             = -198.4 kJ
