Hess’s Law Exercise

1. Given the following stoichiometric equation :

4A + 8C + 12D => 8F + 16B ∆H: -32.4 kJ ,

Calculate ∆H for each of the following :

a. 12A + 24C + 36D => 24F + 48B ∆ H =−97,2 kJ

b. 2A + 4C + 6D => 4F + 8B ∆ H =−16,2 kJ
c. 2F + 4B => A + 2C + 3D ∆ H =+8,10 kJ
d. 40F + 80B => 20A + 40C + 60D ∆ H =+162 kJ

2. Based on the reactions:

2NO2 (g) => N2O4 (g) ∆H : -57.2 kJ

2NO(g) + O2 (g) 2NO2 (g) ∆H : -114.1 kJ

Use Hess's law to calculate ∆H for:

2NO(g) + O2 (g) => N2O4 (g) ∆ H =−171,3 kJ

3. Based on the reactions:

2H2S(g) + 3O2 (g) => 2SO2 (g) + 2H2O(g) ∆H1 = - 1035.94 kJ

2SO3 (g) => 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) ∆H1 = + 197.78 kJ

2H2S(g) + O2 (g) => 2S(s) + 2H2O(g) ∆H1 = + 110.02 kJ

Use Hess's law to calculate ∆H for:

2S(s) + 3O2 (g) => 2SO3 (g) ∆ H =−1343,74 kJ

4. Based on the reactions:

6FeO(s) + O2 (g) => 2Fe3O4 (s) ∆H : -3607.2 kJ

4Fe3O4 (s) + O2 (g) => 6Fe2O3 (s) ∆H : -3408.3 kJ

Use Hess’s law to calculate ∆H for:

4FeO(s) + O2 (g) => 2Fe2O3 (s) ∆ H =−3540,9 kJ
