Question
Standard enthalpy change for a reaction
Enthalpy (H) is the heat content of a system. The heat change, or enthalpy change, is represented as AH.
The enthalpy change for a chemical reaction can be given as
enthalpy change for the reaction = (enthalpy of formation of the products) – (enthalpy of formation of the reactants)
The symbol for the standard enthalpy of reaction is AH°m, where the subscript "rxn" stands for "reaction." The standard enthalpy of a reaction is calculated from the standard enthalpy of formation values for the
reactants and products.
The standard enthalpy of formation is denoted as AH°e, where the subscript "f" stands for "formation." It is the enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mol of a substance in its standard state from its constituent
elements in their standard states. If the standard enthalpies of formation of the reactants and of the products are known, the standard enthalpy of reaction can be calculated using the formula
AH°rxn =Eproducts nAH°t - Ereactants MAH°¢
where E means sum and n and m denote the appropriate stoichiometric coefficients for each substance.
Part B
Calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction, AH°Tm, for the thermite reaction:
2Al(s) +Fe2O3 (s)→2FE(s) +Al½O3 (s)
Elements in their standard state have an enthalpy of formation value of zero. The standard enthalpies of formation of FezOz and Al2O3 are
AĦ of Fe O3(s) = -825.5 kJ/mol
AH of Al,O3 (s) = -1675 kJ/mol
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
