Question

Calculate the temperature of a hydrogen-oxygen flame assuming that the gases at 25C are mixed in stoichiometric proportion and react completely to give H2O(g). ΔH298 of combustion of H2 is 58kcalmol1. The reaction is at constant pressure and the Cp values are (7/2)R for each gas. (R=2cal)

Solution

The correct option is A 8583.71K
H2(g)+(1/2)O2(g)H2O(g);ΔH=58kcal
The heat produced during combustion is used to heat the product H2O(g) of heat capacity 7/2R.
Thus, ΔH=n.Cp.ΔT
58000=1×(7/2)×2×(T2298)
T2=8583.71K
