Answer to Problem 19.113QA

Solution:

a) H°rxn=16.2 kJ

b) H°rxn=-126.9 kJ

Explanation of Solution

1) Concept:

We are given two balanced reactions of methanogenic bacteria and asked to find the H°rxn for each given reaction. We can find the standard enthalpy formation values for CH4g, CO2g, CH3COOH land H2Ol_ can find out the standard enthalpy formation values for  from the Appendix and find the standard enthalpy for the reaction using the following equation:

H°rxn= nproductsHf, products0- nreactantsHf, reactants0

2) Formula:

H°rxn= nproductsHf, products0- nreactantsHf, reactants0

3) Given:

i) Standard enthalpy formation value for formic acid H°f=-425.0 kJ/mol

ii) Standard enthalpy formation value for CH4g= -74.8 kJ/mol(from Appendix 4)

iii) Standard enthalpy formation value for CO2g= -393.5 kJ/mol(from Appendix 4)

iv) Standard enthalpy formation value for H2Ol= -285.8 kJ/mol(from Appendix 4)

v) Standard enthalpy formation value for CH3COOHl= -484.5 kJ/mol(from Appendix 4)

vi) CH3COOH lCH4g+CO2g

vii) 4HCOOHlCH4g+3CO2g+2H2O(l)

4) Calculations:

(1) Calculating standard enthalpy for the first given reaction:

CH3COOH lCH4g+CO2g

Calculating H°rxn for this reaction using the formula:

H°rxn= nproductsHf, products0- nreactantsHf, reactants0

Plugging in the values in the equation, we get:

H°rxn=1mol CH4×-74.8kJmol CH4+ 1mol CO2×-393.5kJmol CO2-1 mol CH3COOH× -484.5kJmol CH3COOH

H°rxn=-468.3 kJ--484.5 kJ

H°rxn= -468.3 kJ+484.5 kJ=16.2kJ

2) Calculating standard enthalpy for second reaction:

4HCOOHlCH4g+3CO2g+2H2O(l)

H°rxn= nproductsHf, products0- nreactantsHf, reactants0

Plugging in the values in the equation, we get:

H°rxn=2molH2O×-285.8kJmolH2O+ 3mol CO2×-393.5kJmol CO2+(1mol CH4 ×-74.8kJmol CH4-4 mol HCOOH × -425.0kJmol HCOOH

H°rxn=-571.6 kJ -1180.5 kJ-74.8 kJ--1700 kJ 

H°rxn= -1826.9 kJ+1700kJ=-126.9 kJ

Conclusion:

Using standard enthalpy values from Appendix 4, we calculated the enthalpy of reactions of methanogenic bacteria.
