Question

When 2 moles of C2H6 are completely burnt 3120 kJ of heat is liberated. Calculate the heat of formation,
Hf for C2H6. Given H0f for CO2(g) and H2O(l) are 395 and 286 kJ respectively.

Solution

2C2H6+7O24CO2+6H2O

ΔHreaction=3120 kJ

ΔHreaction=(ΔHof)products(ΔHof)reactants

3120=[2×ΔHof(C2H6)+7×ΔHof(O2)]+[4×ΔHof(CO2)+6×ΔHof(H2O)]

3120=2×ΔHof(C2H6)+7×04×3956×286

2×ΔHof(C2H6)=312015801716

2×ΔHof(C2H6)=176

ΔHof(C2H6)=88 kJ
