In a constant volume calorimeter, 3.5 g of a gas with molecular weight 28 was burnt in excess oxygen at 298.0 K. The temperature of the calorimeter was found to increase from 298.0 K to 298.45 K due to the combustion process. Given that the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 2.5 kJ K$^{-1}$, the numerical value for the enthalpy of combustion of the gas in kJ mol$^{-1}$ is ____________.
Explanation:
To find the numerical value for the enthalpy of combustion of the gas in kJ mol$^{-1}$, we first need to determine the total heat released by the combustion of the gas within the calorimeter. We then convert this amount of heat into per mole of the gas. Step 1: Calculate the total heat released, $ q $.
The heat released, $ q $, due to combustion in the calorimeter can be calculated using the formula:
$ q = C \cdot \Delta T $
where:
- $ C $ is the heat capacity of the calorimeter, and
- $ \Delta T $ is the change in temperature.
In this problem:
- $ C = 2.5 \text{ kJ K}^{-1} $
- $ \Delta T = 298.45 \text{ K} - 298.0 \text{ K} = 0.45 \text{ K} $
Substituting these values into the equation gives:
$ q = 2.5 \text{ kJ K}^{-1} \times 0.45 \text{ K} = 1.125 \text{ kJ} $
The total heat released by the process is therefore 1.125 kJ, where this amount of heat is a measure of energy released and absorbed by the calorimeter, therefore it is positive.
Step 2: Convert the heat released to a molar basis.To convert the heat released into per mole of the gas, we first need to calculate the number of moles of the gas that was burnt. The number of moles, $ n $, can be calculated from the mass of the gas and its molecular weight:
$ n = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molecular weight}} $
In this problem:
- The mass of the gas = 3.5 g
- Molecular weight of the gas = 28 g mol$^{-1}$
Substituting these values gives:
$ n = \frac{3.5 \text{ g}}{28 \text{ g mol}^{-1}} = 0.125 \text{ mol} $
Step 3: Calculate the enthalpy of combustion per mole.The enthalpy of combustion per mole, $ \Delta H $, is given by:
$ \Delta H = \frac{q}{n} $
Substituting the values we obtained:
$ \Delta H = \frac{1.125 \text{ kJ}}{0.125 \text{ mol}} = 9 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} $
Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of the gas is $ -9 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} $.
Note: The negative sign indicates that the process is exothermic (releases heat).

(Using the data, ${\Delta _{diss}}H_{C{l_2}}^\Theta $ = 240 kJ/mol, ${\Delta _{eg}}H_{Cl}^\Theta $ = -349 kJ/mol, ${\Delta _{hyd}}H_{C{l^ - }}^\Theta $ = - 381 kJ/mol) will be :
Statement 1 : There is a natural asymmetry between converting work to heat and converting heat to work.
Statement 2 : No process is possible in which the sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and its complete conversion into work.

For the reaction, $2 \mathrm{CO}+\mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}_2 ; \Delta \mathrm{H}=-560 \mathrm{~kJ}$. Two moles of CO and one mole of $\mathrm{O}_2$ are taken in a container of volume 1 L . They completely form two moles of $\mathrm{CO}_2$, the gases deviate appreciably from ideal behaviour. If the pressure in the vessel changes from 70 to 40 atm , find the magnitude (absolute value) of $\Delta \mathrm{U}$ at 500 K . $(1 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~atm}=0.1 \mathrm{~kJ})$
Explanation:
Given,
$ \begin{aligned} \Delta \mathrm{H} & =-560 \mathrm{~kJ} \\ \mathrm{~V} & =1 \mathrm{~L} \\ \mathrm{P}_1 & =70 \mathrm{~atm} \\ \mathrm{P}_2 & =40 \mathrm{~atm} \end{aligned} $
To Find : $\Delta \mathrm{U}$
The $\Delta \mathrm{H}$ is the change in enthalpy, $\Delta \mathrm{U}$ is the change in internal energy, V is the volume of the container, $\mathrm{P}_1$ is the initial pressure and $\mathrm{P}_2$ is the final pressure.
The change in enthalpy is related to change in internal energy as follows:
$ \Delta H=\Delta U+V \Delta P $
As there is no change in the volume, the volume remain constant and $\Delta \mathrm{V}=0$.
$ \Delta \mathrm{H}=\Delta \mathrm{U}+\mathrm{V}\left(\mathrm{P}_2-\mathrm{P}_1\right) \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...(i)$
Substituting the respective values in equation (i),
$ \begin{aligned} & -560 \mathrm{~kJ}=\Delta \mathrm{U}+1 \mathrm{~L}(40-70) \mathrm{atm} \\ & -560 \mathrm{~kJ}=\Delta \mathrm{U}+(-30) \mathrm{L} \mathrm{~atm} \end{aligned} $
The $\mathrm{L}-\mathrm{atm}$ values needs to be converted into kJ .
$ \begin{aligned} 1 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~atm} & =0.1 \mathrm{~kJ} \\ -560 \mathrm{~kJ} & =\Delta \mathrm{U}+(-30 \times 0.1) \mathrm{kJ} \\ -560 \mathrm{~kJ} & =\Delta \mathrm{U}+(-3) \mathrm{kJ} \\ \therefore \quad \Delta \mathrm{U} & =-560 \mathrm{~kJ}+3 \mathrm{~kJ}=-557 \mathrm{~kJ} \end{aligned} $
Hence, the magnitude (absolute value) of DU is -557 kJ .
