Define Hess's Law
If a series of reactions are added together, the enthalpy change for the net reaction will be the sum of the enthalpy change for the individual steps.
What are the 2 rules for Hess's Law?
1) If you multiply the coefficients by a number you multiply the ΔH by the same number.
2) If a reaction is reversed, the sign of ΔH is also reversed.
Use the thermochemical equations shown below to determine the enthalpy for the reaction:
H₂O + CO₂ → H₂CO₃
H₂CO + O₂ → H₂CO₃ ΔH= -140kJ
H₂O + CO₂ → H₂CO + O₂ ΔH= 62.5kJ
H₂O + CO₂ → H₂CO₃ ΔH= -77.5kJ
How much heat will be released when 17.53 g of iron reacts with excess O₂ according to the following equation?
3Fe + 2O₂ → Fe₃O₄ ∆H = -1120.48 kJ
q = 17.53 g Fe * (1 mol Fe / 55.85 g Fe) * (-1120.48 kJ / 3 mol Fe)
q = -117.2 kJ
Use the thermochemical equations shown below to determine the enthalpy for the reaction:
2C₂H₄O + 2H₂O → 2C₂H₆O + O₂
2CO₂ + 3H₂O → C₂H₆O + 3O₂ ΔH= 1713.7kJ
2CO₂ + 2H₂O → C₂H₄O + 5/2O₂ ΔH= 1458.7kJ
2C₂H₄O + 2H₂O → 2C₂H₆O + O₂ ΔH= 510.0kJ
How much heat will be absorbed when 21.6 g of nitrogen reacts with excess O₂ according to the following equation?
N₂ + O₂ → 2NO ∆H = 180 kJ
q = 21.6 g N₂ * (1 mol N₂ / 28.0 g N₂) * (180 kJ / 1 mol N₂)
q = 138.9 kJ
How much heat will be released when 14.6 g of hydrogen reacts with excess O₂ according to the following equation?
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O ∆H = - 571.6 kJ
q = 14.6 g H₂ * (1 mol H₂ / 2.02 g H₂) * (-571.6 kJ / 2 mol H₂)
q = -2065.7 kJ
