Due Date: 18th October 2021 (Submit either typed or hand-written hard copies by 16:30 hours on
due date)

1. Calculate the total entropy change that takes place during the conversion of 1 mole of ice at
273.1 K and 1 atm pressure into steam at 373.1 K and 1 atm pressure. Given that the molar
heat fusion of ice is 6.00 kJmol-1 at 273.1 K and molar heat of vaporisation of water at 373.1 K
is 40.60 kJmol-1 and assuming that molar heat capacity, Cp, in this temperature range is
constant at 75.2 JK-1mol-1.

2. Compare the thermodynamic efficiencies to be expected:


(a) When an engine is allowed to operate between 1000 K and 300 K.
(b) When an engine is allowed to operate between 1000 K and 600 K and then waste heat
passed on to another engine which operates between 600 K and 300 K.

3. Calculate the enthalpy of formation of carbon disulphide given the following thermochemical
equations of combustion of CS2(s), C(s) and S(s):
CS2(s) + 3O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2SO2(g) ∆Ho = - 1109 kJ
C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) ∆Ho = - 394.6 kJ
S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g) ∆Ho = - 298.7 kJ

4. The enthalpy changes of CO2(g) and H2O(l) under standard conditions are 394.65 kJ/mol and
285.84 kJ/mol, respectively. If the enthalpy change of combustion of acetaldehyde (CH3CHO)
is 1167.62 kJ/mol, find its standard enthalpy change of formation, H of .

5. Calculate the heat of formation of HCl at 348 K from the following data

1 1
H 2 ( g ) + Cl2 ( g ) → HCl ( g ) ; H o298K = - 92.3 kJ
2 2
The mean heat capacities in the temperature range 298 K and 360 K are:
H2(g): Cp = 28.53 JK-1mol-1
Cl2(g): Cp = 32.26 JK-1mol-1
HCl(g): Cp = 28.49 JK-1mol-1

6. Given the following data:

CO ( g ) + H 2O ( g ) → CO2 ( g ) + H 2 ( g ) ( )
H o 25 o C = -42.0 kJmol-1

Cp (CO) = 26.8 + 6 x 10-3T JK-1mol-1

Cp (H2O) = 30.1 + 10 x 10-3T JK-1mol-1

Cp (H2) = 28.5 + 2 x 10-3T JK-1mol-1

Cp (CO2) = 26.4 + 42 x 10-3T JK-1mol-1

where T is the thermodynamic temperature, calculate the change in enthalpy for the
reaction at 1000 K.
7. The normal boiling point of water is 100oC. Its vapour pressure at 80oC is 0.4672 atm. Calculate
the enthalpy of vaporisation per mole of water, given that R is 8.314 JK-1mol-1.

8. Consider the reaction A(g) + B(g) → 2C(g). For this reaction, ΔHo = -116 kJ mol-1 and the
equilibrium constant Kp is 140 at 600 K. Calculate for this reaction (i) ΔGo and (ii) ΔSo at 600 K.

9. The equilibrium constant of a hypothetical reaction


AB(g) A(g) + B(g)
was determined as a function of temperature and the data was fitted using the linear form of
the van’t Hoff isochore and the result was:

ln K p = + 24.85

Use these results to obtain ΔHo, ΔSo and ΔGo at 298 K.
