Interpretation:
The enthalpy diagram for the formation of
Concept introduction:
The enthalpy diagram represents all the possible steps for the formation of substances from its respective components in their standard state.
The standard enthalpy of formation can be defined as the energy change during the formation of one mole of substance from its constituent elements in their standard state. It is denoted as
The negative value of standard enthalpy of formation indicates stability of molecule.

- The thermochemical equation for the burning of methane, the main component of natural gas, is CH4(g)+2O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(l)H=890kJ (a) Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? (b) What quantities of reactants and products are assumed if H = 890 kJ? (c) What is the enthalpy change when 1.00 g methane burns in an excess of oxygen?arrow_forwardGiven: 2Cu2O(s) + O2(g) 4CuO(s)H = 288 kJ Cu2O(s) CuO(s) + CuO(s)H = 11kJ Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation (Ht) for CuO(s).arrow_forwardWrite reactions for which the enthalpy change will be a. Hf for solid aluminum oxide. b. the standard enthalpy of combustion of liquid ethanol, C2H5OH(l). c. the standard enthalpy of neutralization of sodium hydroxide solution by hydrochloric acid. d. Hf for gaseous vinyl chloride, C2H3Cl(g). e. the enthalpy of combustion of liquid benzene, C6H6(l). f. the enthalpy of solution of solid ammonium bromide.arrow_forward
- The enthalpy change for the following reaction is 393.5 kJ. C(s,graphite)+O2(g)CO2(g) (a) Is energy released from or absorbed by the system in this reaction? (b) What quantities of reactants and products are assumed? (c) Predict the enthalpy change observed when 3.00 g carbon burns in an excess of oxygen.arrow_forwardAlthough the gas used in an oxyacetylene torch (Figure 5.7) is essentially pure acetylene, the heat produced by combustion of one mole of acetylene in such a torch is likely not equal to the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene listed in Table 5.2. Considering the conditions for which the tabulated data are reported, suggest an explanation.arrow_forwardActually, the carbon in CO2(g) is thermodynamically unstable with respect to the carbon in calcium carbonate(limestone). Verify this by determining the standardGibbs free energy change for the reaction of lime,CaO(s), with CO2(g) to make CaCO3(s).arrow_forward
