23. Use the standard enthalpies of formation to answer the questions on this page.
K2O2(s): ΔH○f = –496 kJ/mol CO(g): ΔH○f = –111 kJ/mol CO2(g): ΔH○f = –394 kJ/mol
a. Write the reactions of formation for the three compounds above.
RXN (1) - Formation of K2O2
RXN (2) - Formation of CO
RXN (3) - Formation of CO2
b. What combination of Reactions 1-3 gives the following “reaction X”?
K2O2(s) + 2 CO(g) → 2 K(s) + 2 CO2
RXN X =
c. Calculate ΔH○rxn for reaction X.
d. What would be the value of ΔH○rxn for: K2O(s) + CO2(g) → K2O2(s) + CO(g), given that ΔH○rxn for K2O(s) + CO(g) → 2 K(s) + CO2(g) is +80 kJ/mol?
