1) Calculate the ΔH of the direct synthesis of methanol according to the equation 2C(s) + O 2(g) + 4H2(g) => 2CH3OH (g) ΔH = ? given the ΔH of the following reactions.
|
Step 1 reverse equation 1 and change the sign of the ΔH 4) ----- 4H2O(g) + 2CO2 (g) => 2CH3OH (g) + 3O 2(g) ΔH = 1352 kJ/mol |
Step 2 Multiply equation 2 by 2 5) ----- 2C(s) + 2O 2(g) =>2 CO2(g) ΔH = - 786 kJ/mol |
Step 3 add equations 4) and 5) 6) ----- 4H2O(g) + 2C (s) => 2CH2OH (g) + O 2(g) ΔH = 566 kJ/mol |
Step 4 multiply equation 3) by 2 7) ----- 4 H2(g) + 2O2 => 4H2O(g) ΔH = - 968 kJ/mol |
Step 5 add equations 6) and 7) 8) ----- 2C (s) + 4 H2(g) + O2=> 2CH3OH (g) ΔH = -402 kJ/mol |
