1. Calculate the enthalpy change of combustion of ethene, C2H4,
given the following standard enthalpy changes: (answer = -
1412kJmol-1)
DHof (C2H4(g))
= + 52kJmol-1
DHof (CO2(g))
= -394kJmol-1
DHof (H2O(l))
= - 286kJmol-1
2. Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction: (answer
= +178kJmol-1)
CaCO3(s) ---> CaO(s) + CO2(g)
Standard enthalpies of formation:
DHof (CaCO3(s))
= - 1207kJmol-1
DHof (CaO(s))
= - 635kJmol-1
DHof (CO2(g))
= - 394kJmol-1
3. Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of solid
ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, using the following data: (answer
= -508kJmol-1)
DHof (NH3(g))
= - 46.1kJmol-1
DHof (HCl(g))
= - 286kJmol-1
NH3(g) + HCl(g) ---> NH4Cl(s)
DHo = - 176kJmol-1
4. Calculate the standard enthalpy change of the reaction: (answer
= -3312Jmol-1)
4FeS2(s) + 11O2(g) ---> 2Fe2O3(s) + 8SO2(g)
Standard enthalpy changes of formation in kJmol-1:
DHof (FeS2(s))
= - 178kJmol-1
DHof (Fe2O3(s))
= - 824kJmol-1
DHof (SO2(g))
= - 297kJmol-1
