Question

1. Find ∆Hf for Al2O3 using the following data   2 Al  +  3/2 O2  ---->  Al2O3
      
  H2  +  ½ O2  ------------>  H2O           ∆H1 = –286 kJ/mol

         2 Al + 6 H ------------->  2 Al3+  +  3 H2 ∆H2 = –1050 kJ/mol

         Al2O3  +  6 H+  ----------->  2 Al3+   +  3 H2O ∆H3 = –238 kJ/mol

NOTE: I calculated #5 to be ∆Hf =-1670 kJ/mol. 

6. Using the value calculated in #5, find the temperature change expected when 0.100 g Al reacts with oxygen if the calorimeter used has a heat capacity of 420 J/°C.
