    1. (a)Given the following standard enthalpies of combustion (298K, 1 atmos.): C(s) -393 kJ mol-1; H2(g) -285.

    6 kJ mol-1; C2H6(g) -1560 kJ mol-1 (note: the first two enthalpies correspond to the enthalpy of formation of carbon dioxide and water respectively) Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of ethane, C2H6(g) Solution: We will use the enthalpy of combustion of ethane to find its enthalpy of formation: 7 2 6 + 2 2 2 + 3 2 2

    The enthalpy of combustion is then given by,

    We note that (2 ) = 0 according to the definition of standard enthalpy. Therefore, unknown (2 6 ) can be solved for (2 6 ) = 2 (2 ) + 3 (2 )

    = 2 (2 ) + 3 (2 ) (2 6 )

    (2 6 ) = 2(393) + 3(285) (1560) = 81 / (b) Given the following bond enthalpies (bond energies) in kJ mol-1; C-H 412; C-C 347; O-H 464; O=O 498; C=O 805 (for CO2); C-O 358 calculate the enthalpy of combustion of ethane. You will not get -1560 kJ mol-1. The bond enthalpy method is much less accurate than tabulated enthalpies of formation. Solution: Construct a reaction scheme that shows the individual bonds

    H H C H

    H C H H + 3 1/2 O O 2 O C O + 3 H O H

    Count the bonds broken :

    6 C-H bonds + 1 C-C 3.5 O=O double bonds = 6(412)+347+3.5(498) = 4562 kJ/mol Count the bonds formed : 4 C=O + 6 O-H = 4(804) + 6(464) = -6004 kJ/mol The total is 4562 6004 kJ/mol = -1442 kJ/mol

    2. Given the following standard enthalpies of combustion (298K, 1 atmos.): C(s) -393 kJ mol-1; H2(g) -285.6 kJ mol-1; C8H18(l) -5512 kJ mol-1; Calculate the enthalpy of formation of octane, C8H18(l) Solution: Use Hess law. The enthalpy of formation of octane can be written as 8 () + 9 2 () 8 18 () (8 18 )

    The enthalpies of combustion are 8 18 () +

    (8 18 ) = 8 (393) + 9(285.6) (5512) = 202.4 / 3.

The enthalpy of combustion of cyclohexane can be written as 6 12 () + 15 2 () 6 2 () + 6 2 () (6 12 )

    (8 18 ) = 8 (2 ) + 9 (2 ) (8 18 )

    () + 2 () 2 ()

    25 () 8 2 () + 9 2 () (8 18 ) 2 2 (2 ) (2 )

    To obtain this we use the known enthalpies of formation 6 () + 6 2 () 6 12 () 1 2 () + 2 () 2 () 2 () + 2 () 2 () (6 12 )
