1.     3 (C(s) + O2(g) à CO2(g)    ΔH = -393.5 kJ) =             -1180.5kJ

2  (2H2(g) + O2(g) à2H2O(l)  ΔH  = -571.7.kJ)=            -1143.4kJ

 

 

3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O àC3H8(g) + 5 O2(g)                       = +2220 kJ

 

Sum 3C + 4 H2   à C2H8                         ΔHrxn  =     -103 kJ 

 

Note that for this rxn ΔHrxn  is also ΔHformation

 

 

 

2.       Given the following standard enthalpies of formation,

Substance      ΔHf kJ/mol

NO2(g)      +33.2

NH3(g)      -46.1

          H2O(l)       -285.8      

 

Calculate the standard enthalpy change, ΔHo, for the following

reaction:

          2 NH3(g) + 7/2 O2(g)  -à 2NO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

 

 

 

ΔHrxn = (sum ΔHf  products – sum ΔHf reactants)

 

          =  [3(-285kJ) + 2(+33.2 kJ)] – [2(-46.1kJ + 0]

 

          = -696.5 kJ

     

 

 

Answer   ΔHrxn =               (6 Pts.)

 

 

3.       Given the following thermochemical equation describing the

combustion of butane C4H10(g) (1 mol C4H10 = 58.0g).

 

          2C4H10(g) + 13O2(g)  -->8CO2(g) + 10H2O(g),  ΔHrxn = -5285 kJ

          How many grams of butane must be burned in order to produce 41800kJ?

 

Answer:  The equation above is for two mols of butane or 2 (58) g = 116 g of butane when burned produces –5285 kJ of energy.  Your want to produce 41899 kJ so we divide the heat desiredby theheat produced from burning 116g of butane

 

 

-41600kJ/) -5285 kJ) x 116g  = 917 g of butane must be burned

 

 

 

 

4.           Calculate the frequency for a wave of electromagnetic radiation

having a wavelength of 486 nanometers.  (Given C = 3.00 x 108 m/s,

          h = 6.626 x 10-34 J.s      ΔE per photon  = hν or ΔE= hc/λ

 

answer:  the equation which relates frequeny and wavelength is c = λν

 

ν = c/ λ  = 3.0 x 108 m/s / 486 x 10-9m =     6.17 x 1014s-1

 

 

5.       A 200g sample of water at 25.OoC absorbs 18000 J of thermal energy. What will be its final temperature?

          (Given 1 mol H2O = 180g and S.H.    = 4.18    J   )

                                           (g C)

 

 

Answer  18000 J  = (T final- 25)(180 g)(4.184 J/gC)

 

                 23.9 = T final- 25

                 48.9 = T final

 

6.          Calculate the energy, ΔE, of a photon of light having a frequency, ν, of 7.50 x 1014s-1 meters.  (Given C = 3.00 x 108 m/s,                          h = 6.626 x 10-34 J s

         Photon

 

Answer:  We have to use the equation which relates energy and frequency

 

 

          ΔE = hν  = (6.6 x 10-34Js)(7.50 x 1014s-1)

                         = 4.9 x 10-19J

Professor Farrent,
 I was just wondering if you would be able to post the answers to last years exam # 3 on your webpage.  The exam is only posted. Also, I wanted to inform you that I signed up to take the exam at the Testing Center on Wednesday at 12:00. Could you please send a copy of the exam over there. Thank you so much and see you tomorrow in class.
