Chemistry: An Atoms First Approach
- Oxygen was first prepared by Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) by heating HgO. Use data in Appendix L to estimate the temperature required to decompose HgO(s) into Hg() and O2(g).arrow_forwardAn industrial process for manufacturing sulfuric acid, H2SO4, uses hydrogen sulfide, H2S, from the purification of natural gas. In the first step of this process, the hydrogen sulfide is burned to obtain sulfur dioxide, SO2. 2H2S(g)+3O2(g)2H2O(l)+2SO2(g);H=1124kJ The density of sulfur dioxide at 25C and 1.00 atm is 2.62 g/L, and the molar heat capacity is 30.2 J/(mol C). (a) How much heat would be evolved in producing 1.00 L of SO2 at 25C and 1.00 atm? (b) Suppose heat from this reaction is used to heat 1.00 L of the SO2 from 25C to 500C for its use in the next step of the process. What percentage of the heat evolved is required for this?arrow_forwardThe formation of aluminum oxide from its elements is highly exothermic. If 2.70 g Al metal is burned in pure O2 to give A12O3, calculate how much thermal energy is evolved in the process (at constant pressure).arrow_forward
- The decomposition of ozone, O3, to oxygen, O2, is an exothermic reaction. What is the sign of q? If you were to touch a flask in which ozone is decomposing to oxygen, would you expect the flask to feel warm or cool?arrow_forwardAt 298 K, the standard enthalpies of formation for C2H2(g) and C6H6(l) are 227 kJ/mol and 49 kJ/mol, respectively. a. Calculate H for C6H6(l)3C2H2(g) b. Both acetylene (C2H2) and benzene (C6H6) can be used as fuels. Which compound would liberate more energy per gram when combusted in air?arrow_forwardFor each of the following processes, predict the algebraic sign of rH, rS, and rG. No calculations are necessary; use your common sense. (a) The decomposition of liquid water to give gaseous oxygen and hydrogen, a process that requires a considerable amount of energy. (b) Dynamite is a mixture of nitroglycerin, C3H5N3O9, and diatomaceous earth. The explosive decomposition of nitroglycerin gives gaseous products such as water, CO2, and others; much heat is evolved. (c) The combustion of gasoline in the engine of your car, as exemplified by the combustion of octane. 2 C8H18(g) + 25 O2(g) 16 CO2(g) + 18 H2O(g)arrow_forward
- 9.42 Why is enthalpy generally more useful than internal energy in the thermodynamics of real world systems?arrow_forwardCalcium carbide, CaC2, is manufactured by reducing lime with carbon at high temperature. (The carbide is used in turn to make acetylene, an industrially important organic chemical.) Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardCalculate H for each of the following reactions using the data in Appendix 4: 4Na(s)+O2(g)2Na2O(s)2Na(s)+2H2O(l)2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)2Na(s)+CO2(g)Na2O(s)+CO(g) Explain why a water or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher might not be effective in putting out a sodium fire.arrow_forward
- Water gas is produced from the reaction of steam with coal: C(s)+H2O(g)H2(g)+CO(g) Assuming that coal is pure graphite, calculate H for this reaction.arrow_forwardCoal is used as a fuel in some electric-generating plants. Coal is a complex material, but for simplicity we may consider it to be a form of carbon. The energy that can be derived from a fuel is sometimes compared with the enthalpy of the combustion reaction: C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g) Calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction at 25C. Actually, only a fraction of the heat from this reaction is available to produce electric energy. In electric generating plants, this reaction is used to generate heat for a steam engine, which turns the generator. Basically the steam engine is a type of heat engine in which steam enters the engine at high temperature (Th), work is done, and the steam then exits at a lower temperature (Tl). The maximum fraction, f, of heat available to produce useful energy depends on the difference between these temperatures (expressed in kelvins), f = (Th Tl)/Th. What is the maximum heat energy available for useful work from the combustion of 1.00 mol of C(s) to CO2(g)? (Assume the value of H calculated at 25C for the heat obtained in the generator.) It is possible to consider more efficient ways to obtain useful energy from a fuel. For example, methane can be burned in a fuel cell to generate electricity directly. The maximum useful energy obtained in these cases is the maximum work, which equals the free-energy change. Calculate the standard free-energy change for the combustion of 1.00 mol of C(s) to CO2(g). Compare this value with the maximum obtained with the heat engine described here.arrow_forwardCalculate H for each of the following reactions, which occur in the atmosphere. a.
