How much heat in kilojoules is evolved or absorbed in the reaction of 292.5 g of calcium oxide with enough carbon to produce calcium carbide? CaO(s)+3C(s)→CaC2(s)+CO(g) ΔH∘ = 464.6kJ
moles of CaO = 292.5 / 56 = 5.22
CaO(s) + 3C(s) --------------------> CaC2(s) + CO(g) ΔH∘ = 464.6kJ
1 3 1 1
5.22
1 mol of CaO gives ------------------> ΔH∘ = 464.6kJ
5.22 mol of CaO ------------------ > ??
heat absorbed = 5.22 x 464.6 / 1
= 2425.2 kJ
heat in kilojoules absorbed = 2425.2 kJ
