CHEMICAL THERMODYNAMICS

Learning outcomes for this activity

i. To explain the principles of the thermochemistry and the first law of


thermodynamics.

ii. Using the relevant principles, to solve problems related to thermochemistry and
thermodynamics.

1. 78.2 J of heat changes temperature of 45.6g of lead from 20.0 to 33.3oC. Calculate the
specific heat and molar heat capacity of lead. (Atomic mass of lead = 207.2g/mol)

2. Volume of a gas changes from 11.3L to 15.3L. Calculate the work done by the gas.
(1 L.atm. = 101.3J)

3. A gas during expansion against a constant pressure of 1.0 atm absorbs 1.58 kJ heat and its
internal energy increases by 1.38 kJ. Calculate the amount of work done and increase in
volume of the gas.

4. A balloon filled with 156.1g of helium has a volume of 875 L at 0oC and 1.00 atm. pressure.
The temperature of the balloon is increased to 38oC. It expands to a volume of 998 L while
the pressure remains constant. Calculate q, w and E for the above change.
(Specific heat capacity of He = 5.2J/g.K)
5. A balloon containing 313 g of helium at 1.0 atm pressure has a volume of 1910 L. The
temperature of the balloon is changed from 15oC to 0oC and its volume decreases to 1840L,
pressure remaining constant. Calculate q, w, and E for the helium.

6. 1.6 mol of Neon gas are heated from 20.0o C to 85.2 o C at a constant pressure of 1 atm.
Calculate the work done. (R = 0.082057 L.atm/ K. mol)

7. 1.5 moles of an ideal gas expand reversibly and isothermally from 33.6 L to 67.2 L at 0oC.
Calculate the work done by the gas and entropy change.

8. 1.32 g of sucrose (C12H22O11, molar mass 342.3g/mol) is burned in a bomb calorimeter of


heat capacity of 9.43 kJ/K. Calculate the change in temperature of the calorimeter. Heat of
combustion of sucrose is -5.65x103 kJ/mol.

9. When 0.1025 g of benzoic acid was burnt in a bomb calorimeter the temperature of the
calorimeter increased by 2.165° C. For benzoic acid H°comb = -3227 kJ mol-1. Calculate
the heat capacity of the calorimeter. The Mr is 122.13g/mol.

10. A quantity of 1.435 g of naphthalene (C10H8), a pungent- smelling substance used in


moth repellents, was burned in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter. As a result the
temperature of the water rose from 20.17 C to 25.84 C. If the quantity of water
surrounding the calorimeter was exactly 2000g and the heat capacity of the bomb
calorimeter was 1.80 kJ/K, calculate the molar heat of combustion of naphthalene.

11. Use Hess’s law to find Ho for the reaction, C2H6(g)  C2H4(g) + H2(g)

from the following data.

2 C2H6(g) + 7O2 (g)  4 CO2 (g) + 6H2O(l) Ho = -3120 kJ

C2H4(g) + 3 O2 (g)  2 CO2 (g) + 2H2O(l) Ho = -1411 kJ

H2(g) + ½ O2 (g) H2O(l) Ho = -286 kJ

12. 150 cm3 of 1.5M HCL and 150 cm3 of 1.5M NaOH at 25.0oC were mixed in a simple
calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter assembly increased by 6.1 oC.
Calculate the enthalpy of neutralization in kJ/mol. The heat capacity of the
calorimeter is 60.3 J/K. Assume the specific heat of the solution to be 4.186J/g.K and
density of solution to be 1.0g/cm3.

13. When 100 mL of 0.50 M NH3 is neutralized by 300 mL of a solution containing excess
HCl, the solution temperature increases by 1.6 K. The experiment is performed in a
styrofoam cup, and there is no energy loss. Calculate the heat of reaction, H.

14. Calculate Ho for the reaction

2Al (s) + Fe2O3 (s)  Al2O3 (s) + 2 Fe (s)

(Hof for Fe2O3 and Al2O3 are –824.2 and 1675.7 kJ/mol, respectively)
