1) Differentiate between open system, close system and isolated system with appropriate
diagram.
2)
The following terms are often used in thermochemistry. Explain each one of them by giving
an appropriate example:
(a) Standard enthalpy change
(b) Exothermic process
(c) Endothermic process
3) Table below shows the standard enthalpy of formation for each subtance. Rearrange the
following subtances from most stable to less stable.
Substance
O3
142.0
O2
0.0
NH3
-46.3
CO2
-393.5
5)
H= 180.74 kJ/mol
H= - 33.8 kJ/mol
6) Sketch a graph of (PV) against V at constant temperature for an ideal gas where P is the
pressure and V is the volume of the gas.
8) Oxygen gas of mass 6.5 g is filled into a cylinder at a pressure of 2 atm and temperature of
30oC.
a) Determine the initial volume
b) Determine the final pressure of the gas if the gas is being compressed until its volume is
halved and temperature reaches 600oC. You may assume the gas behaves as an ideal
gas.
Given the following chemical equations and their respective enthalpy changes:
(i) H2 (g ) F2 ( g ) 2HF( g )
H= -537 kJ
H= -680 kJ
H= +52.3 kJ
10) From the standard enthalpies of formation given, calculate Hrxn for the reaction:
C2H5OH(l ) ,
Hf = -277.7 kJ/mol
H2 O(l ) ,
Hf = -285.8 kJ/mol
CO 2 (g ) ,
Hf = -393.5 kJ/mol
12) When 200 mL of 1.00 M NaOH was mixed with 150 mL of 1.00 M HCl in a styrofoam coffee
cup calorimeter, the temperature rose from 25.00oC to 30.00oC. Calculate the heat of
neutralisation. Assume that the specific heat of solution is 4.184 J g-1 oC-1and density of
solution is 1 g/ml.
