Question:
$\text{The enthalpy of formation of CO}_{(g)}\text{, CO}_{2(g)}\text{, N}_2\text{O}_{(g)}\text{, and N}_2\text{O}_{4(g)}\text{ are } -110\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}\text{, } -393\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}\text{, } 81\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}\text{, and } 9.7\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}\text{ respectively.}$
$\text{The value of } (\Delta)_r H \text{ for the reaction would be:}$
$\text{N}_2\text{O}_{4(g)} + 3\text{(CO)}_{(g)} \rightarrow \text{N}_2\text{O}_{(g)} + 3\text{(CO)}_{2(g)}$
Options:
-
1. $-777.7\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
-
2. $+777.7\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
-
3. $+824.9\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
-
4. $-345.4\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
Solution:
$\text{Hint: } \Delta \text{ H}_r = \sum \Delta\text{H}_f\text{(Products)} - \sum \Delta\text{H}_f\text{(Reactants)}$
$\text{Step 1: Write down the given data}$
$\Delta_f \text{H(CO}_{(g)}\text{)} = -110\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
$\Delta_f \text{H(CO}_{2(g)}\text{)} = -393\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
$\Delta_f \text{H(N}_2\text{O}_{(g)}\text{)} = 81\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
$\Delta_f \text{H(N}_2\text{O}_{4(g)}\text{)} = 9.7\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
$\text{Step 2: Calculate } \Delta_r\text{H for the given reaction}$
$\text{Reaction: N}_2\text{O}_{4(g)}\text{ + 3 CO}_{(g)}\text{ } \rightarrow \text{ N}_2\text{O}_{(g)}\text{ + 3 CO}_{2(g)}$
$\Delta_r\text{H} = [\Delta_f\text{H (N}_2\text{O}_{(g)}\text{)} + 3 \Delta_f\text{H (CO}_{2(g)}\text{)}] - [\Delta_f\text{H (N}_2\text{O}_{4(g)}\text{)} + 3 \Delta_f\text{H (CO}_{(g)}\text{)}]$
$= \{81 + 3 (-393) - [9.7 + 3 (-110)]\} = \{81 - 1179 - [9.7 - 330]\} = \{-1098 - [-320.3]\} = -777.7\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
$\text{Hence, the value of } \Delta_r\text{H for the reaction is } -777.7\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
$\text{The negative value of enthalpy change indicates that this is an exothermic reaction, releasing energy in the form of heat.}$
