Calculate ΔH at 358 K for the reaction,
Fe2O3(s)+3H2(g) → 2Fe(s)+3H2O(l)
Given that , ΔH298=−33.29 kJ mol−1 and CP for Fe2O3(s), Fe(s), H2O(l) and H2(g) are 103.8, 25.1, 75.3, and 28.8 J/K mol.
Kirchoff’s Equation:
Kirchhoff's Law describes the enthalpy of a reaction's variation with temperature changes. The overall enthalpy of the reaction will change if the increase in the enthalpy of products and reactants is different.
Kirchoff’s equation can be written as:
If Cp,m is given as a function of temperature,
ΔrH2=ΔrH1+ ∫T2T1ΔrCp,mdT
Where T1 and T2 are in Kelvin (K)
