Solutions

Expert Solution

During the course of exothermic reaction, heat is generated and hence enthalpy change is -ve. When deltaH is +ve, the reaction is endothermic. so the reaction Al2(CO3)3 --------->Al2O3(s)+3CO2(g), deltaH= 579 Kj ---- (1) is endothermic reaction as deltaH is +ve.

when reaction-1 is multiplied with 5, the equation becomes 5Al2(CO3)3 (s) ------->5Al2O3(s)+15CO2(g), deltaH= 5*579 = 2895 KJ

when the reaction -1 is reversed, this changes the sign of deltaH also

Al2O3(s)+ 3CO2(g) ---------->Al2(CO3)3, deltaH= -579 KJ (1A)

when Reaction-1A is multiplied with 3, the reaction is 3Al2O3(s)+ 9CO2(g) ------->3Al2(CO3)3, deltaH=-3*579= -1737 Kj

deltaH is required is -2316 so exothermic, -2316/-579 =4 gives the coefficient required to multiply reaction -1A . So multiplying the reaction-1A with 4 gives

4Al2O3(s) +12CO2(g) --------->4Al2(CO3)3, deltaH=-2316 KJ

c) as per the reaction-1, 1 mole of Aluminium carbonate requires 579 KJ of heat for reaction

moles= mass/molar mass 5 gm of Al2(CO3)3 in terms of moles = 5 gm / 234 g/ mole ( molar mas of al2(CO3)3= 0.02137

1 moles requires 579 Kj

0.02137 moles requires 0.02137*579 =12.37 KJ

d) 579 KJ are required per moles of Aluminium carbonate to produce 1 mole of Al2O3

5250 Kj are required per 5250/579 =9.1 moles of Aluminium carbonate produces 9.1 moles of Al2O3.

Molar mass of Al2O3= 102 g/mole, mass of Al2O3 produced= 102*9.1 =928.2 gm

Enthalpy of formation data : Al2O3= -1676.7 Kj/mole , CO2= -393.5 Kj/mole

for reaction-1, deltaH= sum of deltaH of products- sum of deltaH of reactants

579= 1* deltaH of Al2O3+3* deltaH of CO2- deltaH of Al2(CO3)3

579= 1* (-1676.7)+3*(-393.5)- deltaH of Al2(CO3)3

deltaH of Al2(CO3)3= -3436.2 KJ/mole
