The heat of a reaction

1.[2p]

Why is the heat of a reaction in an open flask a property of the reaction rather than of the apparatus?

Correct
The answer is: At constant pressure the heat equals the change in enthalpy, which is a state function
The answer is: At constant pressure the heat equals the change in enthalpy, which is a state function
The answer is: At constant pressure the heat equals the change in enthalpy, which is a state function

Using ΔfHominus=-824.2 kJ mol⁻¹ for F and -1675.7 for A, what is ΔrHominus in kJ mol⁻¹ for F+2AlA+2Fe?

CorrectNot quite: -851.5

3.[3p]

Bond enthalpies are C to C double 614, H to H 436, C to C single 347, C to H 413 kJ mol⁻¹. Estimate ΔrH in kJ mol⁻¹ for +.

CorrectNot quite: -123

4.[1p]

A bomb calorimeter measures ΔH directly, because the reaction happens at the pressure of the laboratory.

The answer is: False
Correct

5.[2p]

Bond enthalpies predict the hydrogenation of benzene to be about 150 kJ mol⁻¹ more exothermic than it is. Why?

Correct
The answer is: The ring is delocalised and so more stable than three isolated double bonds
The answer is: The ring is delocalised and so more stable than three isolated double bonds
The answer is: The ring is delocalised and so more stable than three isolated double bonds

Mixing 50.0 mL of 1.00 mol dm⁻³ acid with 50.0 mL of 1.00 mol dm⁻³ base gives 100.0 g of solution whose temperature rises by 6.8 K. Taking c=4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹, what is ΔH of neutralisation in kJ per mole of water formed?

CorrectNot quite: -56.8

7.[3p]

For +32N, ΔrHominus(298)=-91.8 kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔrCp=-45.5 J K⁻¹. Using Kirchhoff's law, what is ΔrH at 500 K, in kJ mol⁻¹?

CorrectNot quite: -101.0

Match each quantity to what it is for.

  • Formation enthalpies

  • Mean bond enthalpies

  • Kirchhoff's law

  • Bomb calorimeter

  • the same reaction at another temperature

  • a gas phase estimate and its reason

  • the internal energy change

  • the accurate reaction enthalpy

Show the answer

Formation enthalpies: the accurate reaction enthalpy Mean bond enthalpies: a gas phase estimate and its reason Kirchhoff's law: the same reaction at another temperature Bomb calorimeter: the internal energy change
