    Tutorial: Chemical Energetics (Part I)

    A Calorimetric Calculations

    1 A flame calorimeter was used to find the standard enthalpy change of combustion ofpropan1ol. The following information was obtained during the experiment:

    Heat capacity of apparatus = 3.01 kJ K1

    Mass of propan1ol burned = 2.40 g

    Initial temperature = 27.3C

    Maximum temperature = 52.3C

    (a) Explain, with the aid of a chemical equation with state symbols, what is meant by thestandard enthalpy change of combustion of propan1ol.

    The standard enthalpy change of combustion of CH3CH2CH2OH isthe energy change when one mole of CH3CH2CH2OH iscompletely burnt in oxygen understandard conditions.

    CH3CH2CH2OH(l) +2

    9O2(g) 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l)

    Steps to calculate H

    Step 1: Write the balanced equation (where possible)

    Step 2: Calculate apparent amount of heat absorbed/ released by

    reaction, Q using Q = mcTStep 3: Calculate actual amount of heat absorbed/ released by reaction,

    Q, using Q (no heat loss to surrounding)

    or Q = 100

    x

    Q (x% efficiency)

    Step 4: Calculate n where n = no. of moles of water (neutralisation)n = no. of moles of substance (combustion)

    Step 5: Calculate enthalpy change using Hrxn = + nQ

    where () for exothermic reaction and (+) for endothermic reaction

    (b) Calculate the amount of heat evolved during the combustion. [75250 J]

    Amount of heat evolved,Q = CT = Q (assume 100% efficiency)

    = 3.01103 (52.3 27.3)= 75250 J

    (c) Calculate the standard enthalpy change of combustion of propan1ol.[Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J g1 K] [1881250 J mol1]

    No. of mol. of CH3CH2CH2OH burnt, n =M

    Q

    223= 0400.0

    75250

    = 1881250 J mol1

    (d)Why would inadequate supply of air lead to error in the above results?

    Inadequate supply of air leads to incomplete combustion ofpropan1ol. This leads to a decrease in the amount of heat

    evolved and hence inaccuracy in the Hc

    (CH3CH2CH2OH).

    Since specific heatcapacity, c notmentioned, use heatcapacity, C

    Refers to actual amount of heat Q

    2 The standard enthalpy change of combustion of propane is 2200 kJmol1. A 2.40 dm3 sample of propane was burned under a container ofwater originally under r.t.p. conditions.Given that the process was 75% efficient, calculate the mass of water in

    the container that could be heated to 80C. [718 g]

    40.2= 0.100

    Actual amount of heat evolved, Q = Hc(CH3CH2CH3) n

    = (2200103) 0.100= 220000 J

    Since process is 75 % efficient,

    Apparent amount of heat absorbed by water, Q

    =100

    75Q (Actual amount of heat evolved by burning propane)

    Apparent amount of heat absorbed by the water, Q

    =10075 Q =

    10075 220000 = 165000 J

    Since Q = mcT

    165000 = m 4.18 (80.0 25.0)

    Mass of water heated, m =0.5518.4

    165000

    = 718 g

    Hc(C3H8) = Q / no of moles C3H8

    C2H4(g) + 2H2O(g) 2CO(g) + 4H2(g)

    (a) Explain, with the aid of a chemical equation with state symbols, what is meant by the

    bond energy of CO.

    CO(g) C(g) + O(g)

    The bond energy of CO is the average energy absorbed when one

    mole of CO bonds is broken in the gaseous state to form C andO atoms.

    bond energy of CO bond in carbon monoxide. [+1046 kJ mol1]

    5 Under mild conditions, the catalytic hydrogenation of ethyne, HCCHyields ethane. Under extreme conditions, the catalytic hydrogenation of

    nitrogen NN, yields ammonia.

    (i) Write equations for the two hydrogenation processes described above.

    C2H2 (g) + 2H2(g) C2H6(g)

    N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)

    (ii) Explain, with the aid of appropriate bond energy values from the DataBooklet, the difference in the behaviour of ethyne and nitrogen.

    [Hrxn (HCCH): 278 kJ mol1; Hrxn(NN): 38 kJ mol1]

    HCCH + 2HH

    Hrxn =[BE(CC)+ 2BE(CH) +2BE(HH)] [BE(CC) + 6BE(CH)]= 278 kJ mol

    1

    NN + 3HH 2

    Hrxn = [BE(NN) + 3BE(HH)] 2[3BE(NH)] = 38 kJ mol1

    Hydrogenation of ethyne is more exothermic than that of nitrogen

    Hydrogenation of ethyne require mild conditions while that fornitrogen require extreme conditions

    Alternative: (kinetics stability of the reactants)

    Quote NN bond energy value and CC bond energy value

    The NN bond energy value is much higher than that of CC

    bond energy. Hence the NN bond is extremely strong hence

    large amount of energy required to break the bond in thereactants hence highactivation energy required

    .Explain, with the aid of a chemical equation with state symbols, what ismeant by this statement.

    Mo(s) + 3/2 O2(g) MoO3(s)The standard enthalpy change of formation of MoO3 is the energy

    change when one mole of MoO3 is formed from its elements i.e.Mo and O2 understandard conditions.

    (2) Using Hess Law Energy Cycle methodDefinitionHess Law: The enthalpy change accompanying a chemical reactionis the same regardless of the route by which the chemical change

    occurs, provided the initial and final conditions are the same.

    By Hess Law, H1 =H2 + H3 + H4

    Note:

    All Hmust have the correct signs Multiply a reaction by a factor multiply Hby the same factor Reverse a reaction Reverse the sign ofH

    (b) Comment on the relative numerical magnitudes of the standard enthalpychange of formation of calcium(I) chloride and calcium(II) chloride.

    Formation of CaCl is less exothermic than that of CaCl2.Since magnitude ofHf

    (CaCl) is less than that ofHf(CaCl2),

    Hence CaCl is energetically less stable than CaCl2.

    E Energetics of Aqueous Solution

    Definitions:

    Hsol = the energy change when one mole of the substance is

    completely dissolved in a solvent to form an infinitely dilute

    solution under standard conditions.

    Hhyd = the energy evolved when one mole of the gaseous ion

    is hydrated under standard conditions.

    Hlatt = the energy evolved when one mole of the solid ionic

    compound is formed from its constituent gaseous ions understandard conditions.

    (b) Comment on the relative solubilities of sodium chloride and lithiumchloride.

    The dissolution process for LiCl is exothermic compared to thedissolution process for NaCl which is endothermic.

    Hence, LiCl is more soluble in water than NaCl
