When A reacts with B, the reaction produces C and D (reaction 1): A₍ₛ₎ + 2B₍ₗ₎ → 3C₍ₗ₎ + D₍ₛ₎ But when A reacts with C, the reaction produces B and D (reaction 2): 3A₍ₛ₎ + 2C₍ₗ₎ → B₍ₗ₎ + 2D₍ₛ₎ The heat of formation (at standard state) for A₍ₛ₎ is not available in any literature; however, the heat of formation (at standard state) for B, C, and D is available: B₍ₗ₎ = -30 kJ/mol C₍ₗ₎ = 20 kJ/mol D₍ₛ₎ = 15 kJ/mol Experiment shows that the heat of reaction of reaction 1 is twice the amount of the heat of reaction of reaction 2 (say, heat of reaction of reaction 1 is 10, therefore, heat of reaction of reaction 2 is 5). Determine the heat of reaction of reaction 1 (at standard state) in kJ.
When A reacts with B, the reaction produces C and D (reaction 1):
A₍ₛ₎ + 2B₍ₗ₎ → 3C₍ₗ₎ + D₍ₛ₎
But when A reacts with C, the reaction produces B and D (reaction 2):
3A₍ₛ₎ + 2C₍ₗ₎ → B₍ₗ₎ + 2D₍ₛ₎
The heat of formation (at standard state) for A₍ₛ₎ is not available in any literature; however, the heat of formation (at standard state) for B, C, and D is available:
B₍ₗ₎ = -30 kJ/mol
C₍ₗ₎ = 20 kJ/mol
D₍ₛ₎ = 15 kJ/mol
Experiment shows that the heat of reaction of reaction 1 is twice the amount of the heat of reaction of reaction 2 (say, heat of reaction of reaction 1 is 10, therefore, heat of reaction of reaction 2 is 5).
Determine the heat of reaction of reaction 1 (at standard state) in kJ.
