Question

At constant volume at 27C,
2C6H6(g)+15O2(g)12CO2(g)+6H2O(l);Δu=1600kcal
2C2H2(g)+5O2(g)4CO2(g)+2H2O(l);Δu=620kcal
Calculate the heat of polymerisation of acetylene to benzene at constant pressure.

Solution

(1)2C6H6(g)+15O2(g)12CO2(g)+6H2O(l);ΔE1=162 kcal

(2)2C2H2(g)+5O2(g)4CO2(g)+2H2O(l);ΔE2=620 kcal

3×(2)(1)6C2H2(g)2C6H6(g)
ΔE=3ΔE2E1

=1860+1600=260kcal
3C2H2(g)C6H6(g),ΔE=2602=130 Kcal

ΔH=ΔE+ΔnRT

=180Kcal+(13)×1.98×103×300

=1802×0.198×3=1301.188=131.188 Kcal
