Enthalpy Changes Worksheet 234c2a8

This chemistry worksheet provides several practice problems involving calculation of enthalpy changes (ΔH) using standard enthalpy of formation (ΔH°f) and reaction (ΔH°rxn) values. The problems involve decomposition, polymer formation, oxidation/reduction, substitution, and bond breaking/forming reactions. Students are asked to determine overall ΔH values based on stepwise reaction energies.

CHEMISTRY 11 AP – ENTHALPY CHANGES WORKSHEET

1) The complete decomposition of NOCl gas into its elements occurs by the following reaction:

2 NOCl (g) → N2 (g) + O2 (g) + Cl2 (g)

Use the following two reactions and their enthalpy changes to determine the enthalpy change for the
decomposition reaction.

½ N2 (g) + ½ O2 (g) → NO (g) ΔHf = + 90.3 kJ/mol


NO (g) + ½ Cl2 (g) → NOCl (g) ΔH rxn = – 38.6 kJ/mol

2) Polyvinyl chloride is commonly referred to as PVC. It is a polymer produced from a monomer


formed by the addition of ethylene and chlorine gas. Use the following reactions and their enthalpy
changes to determine the overall enthalpy change for the PVC monomer reaction:

H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) → 2 HCl (g) ΔH° f = – 184.6 kJ/mol


C2H4 (g) + HCl (g) → C2H5Cl (l) ΔH° rxn = – 65.0 kJ/mol
C2H3Cl (g) + H2 (g) → C2H5Cl (l) ΔH° rxn = – 138.9 kJ/mol
C2H4 (g) + Cl2 (g) → C2H3Cl (l) + HCl (g) ΔH° f = ?

3) Given the following data (all species are gases):

2 O3 → 3 O2 ΔH° diss = – 427 kJ/mol


O2 → 2 O ΔH° diss = + 495 kJ/mol
NO + O3 → NO2 + O2 ΔH° rxn = – 199 kJ/mol

Calculate the enthalpy change for the following reaction: NO + O → NO2

4) Determine the enthalpy change for the following reaction:

CH4 (g) + 4 Cl2 (g) → CCl4 (l) + 4 HCl (g)

Using the following information:

C (s) + 2 H2 (g) → CH4 (g) ΔH° f = – 74.6 kJ/mol


C (s) + 2 Cl2 (g) → CCl4 (g) ΔH° f = – 95.7 kJ/mol
H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) → 2 HCl (g) ΔH° f = – 92.3 kJ/mol

5) Use the values for Heats of Formation on Page 30 of your notes to determine the enthalpy change for
each of the following reactions:

(a) 2 H2S (g) + 3 O2 (g) → 2 SO2 (g) + 2 H2O (l)

(b) The Ostwald process for making nitric acid involves multiple steps, beginning with ammonia
reacting with oxygen, forming nitrogen monoxide and water.

(c)
6) Chlorine gas can react in a substitution reaction with the gaseous monomer mentioned in question 2
as follows:

C2H5Cl (g) + Cl2 (g) → C2H4Cl2 (g) + HCl (g)

(a) Calculate the ΔH° for the reaction above, using values from Page 31 of your notes.

(b) Repeat the calculation done in part (a) using ΔH° f values from Page 30 of your notes.

(c) Compare the answer to part (a) with part (b). Comment on the comparison.

7) Use a highlighter or some other method to indicate the bonds that break on the reactant side and
form on the product side of this reaction. If a bond remains intact there is no need to break and
reform it. Calculate the enthalpy change using the bond energy values on Page 31 of your notes.

(a)

(b) d

(c) Combine (a) and (b) into one reaction and calculate the overall enthalpy change.

8) The following shows the structural formulas for the reaction:

2 CH2CHCH3 (g) + 2 NH3 (g) + 3 O2 (g) → 2 CH2CHCN (g) + 6 H2O (g)

Use the bond energy on Page 31 of your notes to calculate ΔH° rxn for the given reaction.
