Calculating Enthalpy Changes

Examples:

1. What is the energy released upon burning 1.00kg of dimethyl ether, an alternative fuel to diesel,
according to the following information?
CH3OCH3(g) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g). + 1328.3kJ

2. What is the energy that is transferred when 57.4g of PbO is produced?


Pb(s) + O2(g) → PbO(s) ΔfH = -438kJ

3. What is the mass of methanol that burns to produce an enthalpy change of -2.32x104kJ?
CH3OH(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g) ΔcH =-1275.8kJ
Complete the following questions in the space provided.

1. What is the energy released per 5.40kg of aluminum produced according to the following unbalanced
reaction: ____Al2O3(s) + ____K(s) → ____ Al(s) + ___ K2O(s) ΔrH = +567.8kJ

2. Fatty acid methyl esters such as methyl oleate (C19H36O2(l)) can be burned as biodiesel according to
the following reaction:
C19H36O2(l) + 27O2(g) → 19CO2(g) + 18H2O(g) ΔCH = -11887Kj
How does the energy per kilogram of biodiesel compared with the energy available from petrodiesel
(45.8MJ/kg)?

3. The molar enthalpy of cellular respiration is 2.80MJ/mol of glucose. What is the energy available per
1.00g of glucose?

4. THe cellular respiration of the oil in olive oil, triolein (C57H104O6(l)), is represented by the net equation:
C57H104O6(l) + 80O2(g) → 57CO2(g) + 52H2O(g) ΔCH = -35099.6 kJ.
What is the available energy per gram of triolein?
