Question

please post an image of how you worked this out. step by step. please!?

2. Consider the following three reactions:

2 Fe (s) + 6 HCl (aq)       2 FeCl3 (aq) + 3 H2 (g) ......HA

Fe2O3 (s) + 6 HCl (aq)       2 FeCl3 (aq) + 3 H2O (l) ......HB

2 H2 (g) + O2 (g)
2 H2O(l)                      ...HC   

Show how these be summed together according to Hess’s Law to determine H for the combustion of iron (target equation shown below). Also show clearly how the H values of each of the three reactions must be manipulated to determine the enthalpy of combustion of iron.

4 Fe (s) + 3 O2 (g)       2 Fe2O3 (s)     H = ?  


3. Using tabulated Hf° values in the text, determine the enthalpy change (in kJ/mol) that occurs during the formation of water from its elements as described by the equation:

2 H2 (g)    +    O2 (g)       2 H2O (l)    H = ?   

Note that this value (and the equation) will be used in your data analysis for this lab.  

Explanation / Answer

2 Fe (s) + 6 HCl (aq)       2 FeCl3 (aq) + 3 H2 (g) ......HA

Fe2O3 (s) + 6 HCl (aq)       2 FeCl3 (aq) + 3 H2O (l) ......HB

2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) 2 H2O(l)                      ...HC   

Target is;4 Fe (s) + 3 O2 (g)       2 Fe2O3 (s)     H = ?   

from reaction (1), we need 4Fe, so multiply by 2

4Fe (s) + 12HCl (aq)       4FeCl3 (aq) + 6H2 (g) ...... 2xHA

we need to cancel HCl, so invert (2) and multiply by 2

4FeCl3 (aq) + 6H2O (l)   2Fe2O3 (s) + 12HCl (aq)   ......-2xHB

we need to cancel water so multiply (3) by 3

6H2 (g) + 3O2 (g) 6H2O(l)                      ...3xHC   

total reaction:

4Fe (s) + 12HCl (aq) + 4FeCl3 (aq) + 6H2O (l) + 6H2 (g) + 3O2 -->  4FeCl3 (aq) + 6H2 (g) + Fe2O3 (s) + 12HCl (aq) + 6H2O(l)

Htotal = 2xHA -2xHB + 3xHC

cancel common terms:

4Fe (s) + 12HCl (aq) + 4FeCl3 (aq) + 6H2O (l) + 6H2 (g) + 3O2 --> 4FeCl3 (aq) + 6H2 (g) + Fe2O3 (s) + 12HCl (aq) + 6H2O(l)

We get

4Fe (s)  + 3O2 --> Fe2O3 (s) H = 2xHA -2xHB + 3xHC
