Question

1. How much heat (in kJ) is evolved (under standard conditions) when 184.78 g of copper reacts to form copper(II) oxide?

2. How much heat (in kJ) is evolved when 60.26 g of water cools and freezes from 59.63oC to 0oC?

3. What is the change in enthalpy (in kJ) under standard conditions when 8.186 g of ethane is combusted?

4. What is the enthalpy of combustion (in kJ/mol) for acetone (CH3COCH3) under standard conditions (water is produced as a liquid)? Use the appendix in your textbook, do not enter units, and answer with 5 significant digits.

Explanation / Answer

The equation is as follows:

2 Cu + O2 2 CuO

The mass of copper is 184.78 g.

Moles = 184.78 g x 1 mol/ 63.546 g

           = 2.91 mol

From the equation, 1mol Cu = 1 mol CuO

The heat of formation of CuO is -157.3 kJ of heat when one mol of Cu is burned.

-157.3 kJ/ mol x 2.91 mol = -458 kJ CuO
