Question

For complete combustion of ethanol
C2H2OH(l)+3O2(g)(gives)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l) in O2, the amount of heat produced as measured in bomb calorimeter, is 1364.47 kJ/mol at 298 K. Assuming ideality, calculate the enthalpy of combustion, ΔHc, for the reaction.

Solution

Heat produced (ΔU)=1364.47 kJ/mol
(exothermic)
ΔHC=ΔU+ΔnRT entahlpy of combustion
Δn=(gaseous moles of product)(gaseous moles of reactants)
=23
Δn=1
ΔHC=1364.471×8.314×298×103
=(1364.472.48)
ΔHC=1366.95 kJ/mol
Given equation: C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l).
