Heat of Formation

When 2 mole...

Question

When $2$ moles of $C_{2} H_{6}$ are completely burnt $3120 k J$ of heat is liberated. Calculate the heat of formation,
$△ H_{f}^{\circ}$ for $C_{2} H_{6}$ . Given $△ H_{f}^{0}$ for $C O_{2} (g)$ and $H_{2} O (l)$ are $- 395$ and $- 286 k J$ respectively.

Solution

$2 C_{2} H_{6} + 7 O_{2} ⟶ 4 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O$

$Δ H_{r e a c t i o n} = - 3120$ $k J$

$Δ H_{r e a c t i o n} = (Δ H_{f}^{o})_{p r o d u c t s} - (Δ H_{f}^{o})_{r e a c t a n t s}$

$∴ - 3120 = - [2 \times Δ H_{f}^{o} (C_{2} H_{6}) + 7 \times Δ H_{f}^{o} (O_{2})] + [4 \times Δ H_{f}^{o} (C O_{2}) + 6 \times Δ H_{f}^{o} (H_{2} O)]$

$⟹ - 3120 = - 2 \times Δ H_{f}^{o} (C_{2} H_{6}) + 7 \times 0 - 4 \times 395 - 6 \times 286$

$⟹ 2 \times Δ H_{f}^{o} (C_{2} H_{6}) = 3120 - 1580 - 1716$

$⟹ 2 \times Δ H_{f}^{o} (C_{2} H_{6}) = - 176$

$⟹ Δ H_{f}^{o} (C_{2} H_{6}) = - 88$ $k J$
