C(s)+O2(g)→CO2(g), ΔrH=−94.3 kcal/mol
CO(g)+12O2(g)→CO2(g), ΔrH=−67.4kcal/mol
O2(g)→2O(g), ΔrH=117.4Kcal/mol
CO(g)→C(g)+O(g), ΔrH=230.6Kcal/mol
Calculate: ΔrH for C(s)→C(g) in Kcal/mol
145 kcal/mol
C(s)+O2(g)→CO2(g), ΔrH1=−94.3 kcal/mol …eq.(1)
CO(g)+12O2(g)→CO2(g), ΔrH2=−67.4kcal/mol.…eq.(2)
O2(g)→2O(g), ΔrH3=117.4Kcal/mol.…eq.(3)
CO(g)→C(g)+O(g), ΔrH4=230.6Kcal/mol…eq.(4)
adding equation (1) and equation (4), we get
C(s)+O2(g)+CO(g)→CO2(g)+C(g)+O(g)….eq.(5)
reversing the equation (2), we get
CO2(g)→CO(g)+12O2(g)…eq.(6)
Now, adding equation (5) and equation (6), we get
C(s)+12O2(g)→C(g)+O(g)…eq.(7)
Now, on reversing the equation (3) and multiplying it by 12, we get
O(g)→12O2(g)…eq.(8)
Now, adding equation (7) and equation (8), we get
C(s)→C(g)
so, using the Hess law,
ΔrH for C(s)→C(g) is
ΔrH=ΔrH1−ΔrH2−12×ΔrH3+ΔrH4
ΔrH=(−94.3+67.4−12×117.4+230.6) ΔrH=145 kcal/mol.
