EXERCISE PROBLEMS: HESS LAW ( Johnson & Stratcher, 1995) 1. Find the Heat of Formation of WO3 at 298 K and 1 atm given the following:

(1) (2) (3)

W(s ) + O 2( g ) WO 2 (s ) WO 2(s ) + O 2( g ) W3 O8 (s ) W3 O8(s ) + 1 O 3WO 3(s ) 2 (g )

o, f H 298 = 560.7 kJ/mol O 2 o H 298 = 550.2 kJ/mol O 2 o H 298 = 278.3 kJ/mol O 2

Ans. (Ho,f)298 = -836.8 kJ/mol W 2. The standard enthalpies of formation of several minerals at 968 K are as follows: a. Al6Si2O13 (mullite) Ho,f = 42.2 kJ/mol b. Al2O3 (-corundum) Ho,f = 31.8 kJ/mol c. SiO2 (quartz) Ho,f = -15.3 kJ/mol Calculate Ho for the production of mullite from -corundum and quartz at 968 K. Ans. (Ho)968 = -22.6 kJ/mole mullite

KIRCHOFFS LAW 3. Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of TiC at 1200 K. The necessary data are shown in Tables A.1, A.2, and A.3. Ans. (Ho,f)1200 = -186.7 kJ/mol 4. Small droplets of gold are observed to supercool 230oC below the normal freezing point at atmospheric pressure. Calculate the transformation enthalpy or heat of transformation associated with the solidification in the supercooled state. The necessary data are also shown in Tables A.2 and A.3. Ans. (Hl s)1106 = -12.93 kJ/mol

ADIABATIC FLAME TEMPERATURE 5. Consider a burner in which a fuel gas at 298 K is burned with the stoichiometric amount of dry air also at 298 K. The reaction takes place at one atmosphere pressure. The composition of the fuel gas being burned is 20% CO, 30% CO2, 50% N2. Determine the AFT of the exit gas.
