Using Standard Enthalpies of Formation


1) Determine H0 for the following reaction of burning ethyl alcohol in oxygen:
C2H5OH (l) + 3 O2 (g) 2 CO2 (g) + 3 H2O (l)
H0f = of C2H5OH (l) = - 65.9 Kcal/mole
H0f = of CO2 (g) = -94.1Kcal/mole
H0f = of H2O (l) = -68.3 Kcal/mole
2) Using the information in the following table, determine H0 for the reactions:
a) 3 Fe2O3 (s) + CO (g) 2 Fe3O4 (s) + CO2 (g)
b) Fe3O4 (s) + CO (g) 3 FeO (s) + CO2 (g)
c) FeO (s) + CO (g) Fe (s) + CO2 (g)
Heats of Formation

- 94.1
- 197
- 267
- 63.7

Compound
CO (g)
CO2 (g)
Fe2O3 (s)
Fe3O4 (s)
FeO (s)
3) Given that:

H0 (Kcal/mole)
- 94.0
- 26.4
- 68.4
-57.8

Compound
CO2 (g)
CO (g)
H2O (l)
H2O (g)
Determine the heats of reaction of:

i) CO (g) + O2 (g) CO2 (g)


ii) H2 (g) + O2 (g) H2O (l)
iii) H2O (l) H2O (g)

4) For each of the following compounds, write a balanced thermochemical equation depicting the formation of 1 mole of the
compound from its elements in their standard states and use Appendix C to obtain the value of H0f: a) NH3 (g),
b) SO2 (g), c) RbClO3 (s), d) NH4NO3 (s).
5) The following is known as the thermite reaction
2 Al (s) + Fe2O3 (s) Al2O3 (s) + 2 Fe (s)
This highly exothermic reaction is used for welding massive units, such as propellers for large ships. Using the
enthalpies of formation in Appendix C, calculate H0 for this reaction.
6) Using values from Appendix C, calculate the standard enthalpy change for each of the following reactions:
a) 2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) 2 SO3 (g)
b) Mg(OH)2 (s) MgO (s) + H2O (l)
c) 4 FeO (s) + O2 (g) 2 Fe2O3 (s)
