Answer to Problem 5.120AP
Solution
The standard enthalpy change for the balanced chemical reaction is -5,118.4 kJ_.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
The given reactions are stated as,
Zn(s)+18S8(s)→ZnS(s)ZnS(s)+2O2(g)→ZnSO4(s)18S8(s)+O2(g)→SO2(g)
Refer Appendix 4.
The standard enthalpy of formation of SO2(g), (ΔHοf, SO2(g)) is −296.8 kJ/mol.
The standard enthalpy of formation of ZnSO4(s), (ΔHοf, ZnSO4(s)) is −982.8 kJ/mol.
The standard enthalpy of formation of O2(g), (ΔHοf, O2(g)) is 0 kJ/mol.
The standard enthalpy of formation of Zn(s), (ΔHοf, Zn(s)) is 0 kJ/mol.
The standard enthalpy of formation of S8(s), (ΔHοf, S8(s)) is 0 kJ/mol.
Add the above reaction stated as given.
Zn(s)+18S8(s)→ZnS(s) ZnS(s)+2O2(g)→ZnSO4(s) 18S8(s)+O2(g)→SO2(g)
¯Zn(s)+14S8(s)+3O2(g)+ZnS(s)→ZnSO4(s)+SO2(g)+ZnS(s)_ (1)
Eliminate the common terms of equation (1).
Zn(s)+14S8(s)+3O2(g)→ZnSO4(s)+SO2(g) (2)
The overall equation (2) is not in balanced form as fraction 1/4 is the coefficient of S8(s).
To remove the fraction coefficient of S8(s), multiply the equation (2) with four.
4×(Zn(s)+14S8(s)+3O2(g)→ZnSO4(s)+SO2(g))
¯4Zn(s)+S8(s)+12O2(g)→4ZnSO4(s)+4SO2(g)_ .(3)
The equation (3) is now in overall balanced form.
The standard enthalpy change for a balanced reaction (ΔHοbalanced rxn) is calculated by the formula,
ΔHοbalanced rxn=∑n×ΔHοf(Products)−∑m×ΔHοf(Reactants) (4)
Where,
- ΔHοf(Products) is standard enthalpy of formation of the products.
- ΔHοf(Reactants) is of standard enthalpy of formation of the reactants.
- n is number of moles of products.
- m is number of moles of reactants.
In the balanced chemical equation (3) the,
- Number of moles of product ZnSO4(s) is 4.
- Number of moles of product SO2(g) is 4.
- Number of moles of reactant Zn(s) is 4.
- Number of moles of reactant S8(s) is 1.
- Number of moles of reactant O2(g) is 12.
The ∑n×ΔHοf(Products) for the balanced chemical reaction is calculated by the formula,
∑n×ΔHοf(Products)=4 mol×(ΔHοf, ZnSO4(s))+4 mol×(ΔHοf, SO2(g)) (5)
Substitute the value of ΔHοf, ZnSO4(s) and ΔHοf, SO2(g) in equation (5).
∑n×ΔHοf(Products)=4 mol×−982.8 kJ/mol+4 mol×−296.8 kJ/mol=−3,931.2 kJ−1,187.2 kJ=−5,118.4 kJ
The ∑m×ΔHοf(Reactants) for the balanced chemical reaction is calculated by the formula,
∑m×ΔHοf(Reactants)=4 mol×(ΔHοf, Zn(s))+1 mol×(ΔHοf, S8(s))+12 mol×(ΔHοf, O2(g))
Substitute the values of ΔHοf, Zn(s), ΔHοf, S8(s) and ΔHοf, O2(g) in above expression.
∑m×ΔHοf(Reactants)=4 mol×0 kJ/mol+1 mol×0kJ/mol+12 mol×0kJ/mol=0 kJ
Substitute the values of ∑n×ΔHοf(Products) and ∑m×ΔHοf(Reactants) in equation (2).
ΔHοbalanced rxn=−5,118.4 kJ−0 kJ=−5,118.4 kJ
Hence, the standard enthalpy change for the balanced chemical reaction is -5,118.4 kJ_.
