EXERCISE 1 calculating molar enthalpy changes

1. Write equations which correspond to the following energy changes: (i) Enthalpy of formation of methane (CH4) (ii) Enthalpy of combustion of methane (iii) Enthalpy of formation of benzene (C6H6) (iv) Enthalpy of combustion of benzene (v) Enthalpy of formation of aluminium oxide (vi) Enthalpy of combustion of aluminium (vii) Enthalpy of formation of ethyl ethanoate (CH3COOC2H5) (viii) Enthalpy of combustion of ethyl ethanoate (ix) Enthalpy of formation of propane (x) Enthalpy of combustion of propane 2. When 10.0g of HI is completely decomposed under standard conditions, 860J of heat is absorbed. Calculate the enthalpy change in kJmol-1 of the following reactions: HI(g) 1/2H2(g) + 1/2I2(g) H2(g) + I2(g) 2HI(g) 3. When 12.0g each of carbon, hydrogen and ethyl ethanoate (molar mass 88gmol-1) are each burned completely in oxygen, the quantities of heat given out are respectively 394.2kJ, 1715.5 kJ and 306kJ. Calculate the standard enthalpy of combustion of these three substances. 4. Given that the enthalpies of combustion of B2H6(g) and C2H6(g) are -2158.5 and -1559.7 kJmol-1 respectively, calculate which of 50kg of B2H6 and 50kg of C2H6 will evolve more energy.
