Chapter 3
Thermodynamics

SOLVE THE FOLLOWING ENTHALPY and ENTROPY PROBLEMS:

1. Calculate the heat of combustion for the following reactions from the standard enthalpies of
formation (refer to the table for the values)
USE THE FORMULA: ∆H = Hproducts - Hreactants
a.) 2H2(g) + O2(g)  2H2O(l)

b.) Combustion of ethylene:

C2H4(g) + 3O2(g)  2CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

c.) 2H2S(g) + 3O2  2H2O + 2SO2

d.) 2Al(s) + Fe2O3  2Fe(s) + Al2O3

2. Calculate the std entropy of the following reactions at 25⁰C

a. H2(g) + Cu(s)  Cu(s) + H2O(g)

b. 2Al + 3ZnO  Al2O3 + 3Zn(s)

c. Combustion of methane

CH4(g) + 2O2(g)  CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

d. MgCO3  MgO + CO2
