(a)
Interpretation:
The amount of energy released when 2.5 mol of carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Combustion of any fuel takes place in the presence of oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water. It is an exothermic reaction or heat is released in the process. Enthalpy change of combustion can be defined as difference of formation energies between the products and reactants. In an endothermic reaction, energy is required whereas in exothermic reactions, energy is released.
(b)
Interpretation:
The amount of energy released when 3.0 mol of O2 react in carbon combustion reaction needs to be determined.

- Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere weathers, or dissolves, limestone (CaCO3) by the reaction CaCO3(s)+CO2(g)+H2O(l)Ca2(aq)+2HCO3(aq) Obtain H for this reaction. See Table 6.2 for the data.arrow_forwardA lead ore, galena, consisting mainly of lead(II) sulfide, is the principal source of lead. To obtain the lead, the ore is first heated in the air to form lead oxide. PbS(s)+32 O2(g)PbO(s)+SO2(g)H=415.4kJ The oxide is then reduced to metal with carbon. PbO(s)+C(s)Pb(s)+CO(g)H=+108.5kJCalculate H for the reaction of one mole of lead(II) sulfide with oxygen and carbon, forming lead, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide.arrow_forwardEnthalpy a A 100.-g sample of water is placed in an insulated container and allowed to come to room temperature at 21C. To heat the water sample to 41C, how much heat must you add to it? b Consider the hypothetical reaction,2X(aq)+Y(l)X2Y(aq)being run in an insulated container that contains 100. g of solution. If the temperature of the solution changes from 21C to 31C, how much heat does the chemical reaction produce? How does this answer compare with that in part a? (You can assume that this solution is so dilute that it has the same heat capacity as pure water.) c If you wanted the temperature of 100. g of this solution to increase from 21C to 51C, how much heat would you have to add to it? (Try to answer this question without using a formula.) d If you had added 0.02 mol of X and 0.01 mol of Y to form the solution in part b, how many moles of X and Y would you need to bring about the temperature change described in part c. e Judging on the basis of your answers so far, what is the enthalpy of the reaction 2X(aq) + Y(l) X2Y(aq)?arrow_forward
