Thermochemistry Problems

1) Consider the following reaction:

2 Mg(s) + O2(g) -> 2 MgO(s) ∆H = -1204 kJ.

a) Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?

b) Calculate the amount of heat released if 2.4 g of Mg(s) reacts.
c) How many grams of MgO are produced during an enthalpy change of 96.0
kJ?
d) How many kilo joules of heat are absorbed when 7.50 g of MgO(s) are
decomposed into Mg(s) and O2(g) at constant pressure?

2) Choose endothermic and exothermic reactions below:

I) HgO -> Hg + O2
II) C + O2 -> C O2
III) HNO3 -> H2O + NO2 + O2
IV) H2+ O2 -> H2O
V) H2O + CO2 -> H2CO3

3) Choose endothermic and exothermic processes:

A) Condensation
B) Evaporation
C) Boiling
D) Freezing
E) Sublimation

4) Determine the for each of the following reactions.

 5) How much heat is released when 11,22 grams of water is produced

via the combustion of propane? (C3H8)

C3H8(g) + 5 O2 (gr) —> 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O (l) ; = -2044 kJ

6) a) How much heat is released by burning 27,5 grams of CH4?

CH4(g) + 2O2 (gr) —> CO2(g) + 2H2O (l) ; = - 890,4 kJ

b) How much heat is created by 79,2 grams of O2?

7) How many grams of N2 are needed to make -550 kJ?

N2 + 3H2—> 2NH3; = - 92,6 kJ

8) How many grams of H2 do you need to get -155 kJ?

N2 + 3H2—> 2NH3; = - 92,6 kJ

9) Calculate the amount of heat transferred when 2,40 grams of

magnesium reacts with oxygen and forming MgO?

= - 1204 kJ

10) How much heat is released when 5 moles of CH4 are burned?

CH4(g) + 2O2 (gr) —> CO2(g) + 2H2O (l) ; = - 802 kJ
