Find ΔE° for the reaction below if the process is
carried out at a constant pressure of 1.00 atm andΔV (the
volume change) = -24.5 L. (1 L ∙ atm = 101 J)
2 CO(g) + O2 (g) → 2
CO2(g) ΔH° = -566. kJ
Select one:
A. +2.47 kJ
B. -568 kJ
C. -2.47 kJ
D. -564 kJ
Given ΔH° = -566. kJ
Work done , W = P x ΔV
= 1 atm x (-24.5 L )
= -24.5 L atm
= -24.5x101 J Since 1 L atm = 101 J
= -2.47x103 J
= -2.47 kJ
From first law of thermodynamics , ΔH° = ΔE° + W
ΔE° = ΔH° - W
= -566 kJ - (-2.47 kJ)
= -564 kJ
Therefore option (D) is correct
