Question 1
(a) Calculate the standard heat at 298 K for the following reaction:
C 2 H 4 ( g ) + H 2 O( g ) → C 2 H 5 OH ( g )
(b) For the same reaction, what is the standard heat of reaction at 400 K if the heat
capacity is given by the equation below?
Cp = R( A + BT + CT 2 + DT −2 )
Question 2
A reaction such as the formation of n-butane: 4C(s) + 5H 2 (g) → C 5 H 10 ( g )
is not feasible in practice. However, this equation results from combination of the following
combustion reactions:
Balance the three equations and use Hess’s Law to calculate the heat of formation of n-
butane.
Question 3
For steady flow in a heat exchanger at approximately atmospheric pressure, what is the
heat transferred when 10 mol of SO2 is heated from 200 to 1100°C?
Question 4
Given that the latent heat of vaporization of Benzene at 25°C is 433.3 J/g, use Watson’s
equation to estimate the latent heat at the boiling point (80°C). The critical temperature of
Benzene is 562 K.
