Algorithm For Solving Thermochemistry Problems

The document explains how to calculate the heat released during the combustion of ethane (C2H6) using thermodynamic principles. It details the relationship between mass, specific heat, and temperature change, and provides a chemical reaction equation along with the associated enthalpy changes. The document also distinguishes between exothermic and endothermic reactions based on the sign of heat (Q) and reaction enthalpy (ΔH).

HOW TO SOLVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEMS?

1.

Q = 3116.6 kJ is the heat released in this reaction. Using the "simple rule of three," we deduce:
M C2H6= 2 * AC+6*AH= 2*12+6*1= 30 units
2* 30 g C2H6................. releases 3115.6 KJ
60 g C2H6..............................x
X= 3115.6 KJ
2. What we need to know:From physics (the chapter on thermodynamics) it is known that the heat released during the burning of a

substanceQ = m * csubstance* T received = Q yielded

because for example,i=200C shitf=800C thenTi=200C + 273 = 293K and Tf=800C + 273 = 353K

T = 353K - 293K = 60 t = 800C - 200C= 60 T = t


............................................................................................................................
Solution: Q=m*cwater* T

3115.6 KJ = 10 Kg * 4.18 KJ/Kg*K * t t = 3115.6 KJ t =3115,6 K = 74,53


10 Kg * 4.18 kJ/Kg*K 41.8

4.Solution:
The heat of combustion is the thermal effect associated with the complete combustion reaction of one mole of
substance at a pressure of 1 atm and given temperature. The heat of combustion is tabulated and expressed in
kcal/mol.

5.Based on the values of ΔfThe0 stability of substances under standard conditions can be assessed.
calculate other thermodynamic quantities and write thermochemical equations.

As much as ΔfThe smaller H is, the more stable the chemical species is.

Solution:

With and
- 393.5 kJ/mol -285.8 kJ/mol CO2this is more stable H2O CO2
IMPORTANT:
A chemical reaction is written in the form:
C2H6(g)+ 7/2 O2(g) 4 CO2(g)+ 6H2O(l) + 3116.6 KJ
sauce
C2H6(g)+ 7/2 O2(g) 4 CO2(g)+ 6H2O(l) r H = - 3116, KJ
So, we conclude that the reaction enthalpy is equal, but of opposite sign to the amount of heat.
