Question

PChem Please show work. answer if given, the steps are needed.

1) The change of internal energy cU° in the combustion of C60 (s) is -25,968 kJ/mol @ 25°C.

To do these problems each requires a balanced chemical equation. It is assumed that you can figure out the equation from the specific description of enthalpy.

a) What is the enthalpy of combustion, cH° of C60 (s)? ans. -25,968 kJ/mol

b) What is the enthalpy of formation, fH° of C60 (s)? ans. 2357 kJ/mol

c) What is the enthalpy of vaporization of C60 (s) to C (g) per mole of C (g)? ans. 677.4 kJ/mol

d) How does this compare with the enthalpy of vaporization of graphite and diamond to C (g)?

C(graphite) vaporization = 716. 7 kJ/mol. C(diamond) vaporization = 714. 8 kJ/mol.

For data to compare, look up fH° of carbon (diamond) and carbon (graphite) from the Table in the data section of our book.

Thank you

Explanation / Answer

a) enthalpy of combustion, cH° of C60 (s) = ?

C60 (s) + 60O2(g) ==> 60CO2(g)

q = C dT as dTn = 0 i.e 60-60 = 0 so dH = dE (dH = dE + PdV)

= -25968 constant = -25,968 kJ/mol

b) Enthalpy of formation of buckminsterfullerene

   60CO2(g) ==>   C60 (s) + 60 O2(g) dH = + 25986 KJ/mol

60[C(s) + O2(g) ==> CO2(g) dH = 60 x ( -393.510 KJ/mol)

60C(s) ==> C60(s) dH = dHf[C60] = 25592.49 KJ

c) Enthalpy of vaporization =
