A scientist measures the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction to be 6.7 kJ : CO(g) + H,O(1)–CO;{g) + H2(g) Based on this value and the standard enthalpies of formation for the other substances, the standard enthalpy of formation of CO(g) is kJ/mol.
A student runs two experiments with a constant-volume "bomb" calorimeter containing 1200.g of water First, a 5.500g tablet of benzoic acid C6H5CO2H is put into the "bomb" and burned completely in an excess of oxygen. (Benzoic acid is known to have a heat of combustion of 26.454kJ/g.) The temperature of the water is observed to rise from 16.00°C to 44.20°C over a time of 10.7 minutes. Next, 5.120g of ethanol C2H5OH are put into the "bomb" and similarly completely burned in an excess of oxygen. This time the temperature of the water rises from 16.00°C to 41.79°C. Use this information, to answer the questions below about this reaction: A "bomb" calorimeter. C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) 3H2O(g) Be sure any of your answers that are calculated from measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible the student did not do these experiments sufficiently carefully, and the values you calculate may not exactly…
