Question
A sample of pure solid naphthalene (C10H8) weighing 0.6410 g is burned completely with oxygen to CO2(g) and H2O(,) in a constant-volume calorimeter at 25°C. The amount of heat evolved is observed to be 25.79 kJ.
(a) Write and balance the chemical equation for the combustion reaction.
(b) Calculate the standard change in internal energy (DU°) for the combustion of 1.000 mol naphthalene to CO2(g) and H2O(,).
(c) Calculate the standard enthalpy change (DH°) for the same reaction as in part (b).
(d) Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation per mole of naphthalene, using data for the standard enthalpies of formation of CO2(g) and H2O(,) from Appendix D.
