Question

1 g of graphite is burnt in a bomb calorimeter in excess of oxygen at 298 K and 1 atmospheric pressure according to the equation
C(graphite)+O2(g)CO2(g)
During the reaction, temperature rises from 298 K to 299 K. If the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter is 20.7 kJ/K, what is the enthalpy change for the above reaction at 298 K and 1 atm?

Solution

C+O2CO2
Δng=0
ΔH=ov+ΔngRT
Δv=qv=cv×ΔT
qv=20.7×103×0.8
=1705.6J per 0.562g
amount of heat liberated during one mole carbon
=1705.6×120.562=36×20.2J
ΔH=Δν+ΔngRT
so, ΔH=00
So ,ΔH=36420.2J
