Concept explainers
From the following heats of combustion,
calculate the enthalpy of formation of methanol (CH3OH) from its elements:
Interpretation: The enthalpy of formation of Methanol from its elements has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
The change in enthalpy that is associated with the formation of one mole of a substance from its related elements being in standard state is called standard enthalpy of formation
(
The standard enthalpy of reaction is the enthalpy of reaction that takes place under standard conditions.
The equation for determining the standard enthalpies of compound and element can be given by,
To calculate: the enthalpy of formation of Methanol
Answer to Problem 6.63QP
The standard heat for the formation of Methanol is
Explanation of Solution
Some changes in the reactions and their enthalpies are made to get the enthalpy of formation of Methanol. The changes are as follows,
Standard heat of formation of Methanol =
The standard enthalpy of the reaction was calculated using the standard enthalpies of formation of the products formed. Since the reaction involves in the formation of one mole of Methanol from its elements in their standard states. The standard enthalpy of the reaction and the standard heat of formation of Methanol are found to be the same. The standard heat of formation of Methanol was found to be

- Acetic acid. CH3CO2H, is made industrially by the reaction of methanol and carbon monoxide. CH3OH () + CO(g) CH3CO2H() rH= 134.6 kJ/mol-rxn What is the enthalpy change for producing 1.00 L of acetic acid (d = 1.044 g/mL) by this reaction?arrow_forwardNitrogen monoxide, a gas recently found to be involved in a wide range of biological processes, reacts with oxygen to give brown NO2 gas. 2 NO(g) + O2(g) NO2(g)rH = 114.1 kJ/mol-rxn Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? What is the enthalpy change if 1.25 g of NO is converted completely to NO2?arrow_forward62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy? Is your answer consistent with the proposed use of ADN as a rocket fuel?arrow_forward
