The final equation requires 2 moles of FeO which means we will multipy equation 1 and its enthalpy change by 2. However, FeO is
found in the first equation on the product side while we need it to be on the reactant side. This means we need to reverse the
reaction. To write the reaction in reverse form, we write the reactants on the product side and the products on the reactant side
then change the sign of the enthalpy change. We now get Equation 1: 2FeO (s) →2 Fe(s)+O2(g) ΔH° 25°C = [2x(-272.0 kJ)] = 544 kJ
Fe2O3(s) is already on the product side so we use equation 2 it is as given.
We can now combine Equation 1 with Equation 2:
Equation 1 : 2FeO(s) →2 Fe(s)+O2(g) ΔH° 25°C = 544 kJ
Equation 2 : 2Fe(s) + 3/2 O2(g) → FeO3(s) ΔH° 25°C = 825.5 kJ
1. Calculate ΔH for the reaction 2C(s) + H2(g) →C2H2(g) using the following data:
1. H2(g) + 1/2 O2(g) →H2O(l) ΔH = -286 kJ
2. C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) ΔH = -394 kJ
3. C2H2(g) + 5/2 O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + H2O(l) ΔH = -1 300 kJ
2. Cite concrete example to expound the idea of first law of thermodynamics : “energy cannot be created or destroyed but can simply
be converted to other forms of energy”.
