Chemical Thermodynamics Question 359

Question: Calculate the heat produced (in kJ) when 224 g of CaO is completely converted to CaCO3 by reaction with CO2 at 27C in a container of fixed volume.

Given: ΔHfo(CaCO3,s)=1207kJ/mol;

ΔHfo(CaO,s)=,635,kJ/mol,

ΔHfo(CO2,g)=394kJ/mol; [Use R=8.3JK1mol1 ]

Options:

A) 702.04kJ

B) 721.96,kJ

C) 712kJ

D) 721kJ

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • CaO(s)+CO2(g)CaCO3(s)

ΔfH=ΔHf(CaCO3)-ΔHf(CaO)ΔHf(CaCO2)

=1207(635)(394)

=178kJ/mol

ΔU=ΔHΔngRT

ΔU=178((1)×8.3×3001000)

=175.51kJ

nCaO=22456=4

qv=nΔrU=4×(175.51)

=702.04kJ
