Question

Calculate the heat of formation of CO2 by following data.
(Δ Hc) C2H6 = 397.8 Kcal
(Δ Hf) C2H6 = 21.1 Kcal
(Δ Hf) H2O = 94.1 Kcal

Solution

Given:-
Combustion of C2H6-
C2H6(g)+72O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)ΔH=397.8kcal.....(1)
2C(s)+3H2(g)C2H6(g)ΔH=21.1kcal.....(2)
H2(g)+12O2(g)H2O(l)ΔH=94.1kcal
H2O(l)H2(g)+12O2(g)ΔH=+94.1kcal
3×[H2O(l)H2(g)+12O2(g)ΔH=+94.1kcal]
3H2O(l)3H2(g)+32O2(g)ΔH=+282.3kcal.....(3)
Adding equation (1),(2)&(3), we get
2C(s)+2O2(g)2CO2(g)ΔH=136.6Kcal
12×(2C(s)+2O2(g)2CO2(g)ΔH=136.6Kcal]
C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g)ΔH=68.3Kcal
Hence the heat of foemation of CO2 will be 68.6kcal.
