Calculating Enthalpy using Hess’s Law
Objectives:
Calculate enthalpy of reactions using Hess’s Law
2. The enthalpy glycerol formation is the enthalpy change for the reaction:
3C(s) + 4H2(g) + 1 1/2O2(g) → C3H8O3(l) ΔH = ?
Calculate the enthalpy ΔH of formation of glycerol, in kJ mol-1, using the thermochemical equation below:
C + O2 → CO2 ΔH = -394 kJ
H2 + 1/2O2 → H2O ΔH = -286 kJ
C3H8O3 + 3 1/2O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O ΔH = -1654 kJ
3. The standard enthalpy changes for the formation of aluminum oxide and iron (III) oxide are:
2Al(s) + 3/2O2(g) → Al2O3(s) ΔH = -1676 kJ
2Fe2(s) + 3/2O2(g) → Fe2O3(s) ΔH = -824 kJ
