Question -

The reaction of cyanamide, NH2CN(s),with dioxygen was carriedout in a bomb calorimeter, and ├ОтАЭU┬аwas found to be ├втВмтАЬ742.7kJ mol├втВмтАЬ1at 298 K. Calculate enthalpy change for thereaction at 298 K.



Answer -

Enthalpy change for a reaction (├ОтАЭH) is given by theexpression,

├ОтАЭH┬а= ├ОтАЭU┬а+ ├ОтАЭngRT

Where,

├ОтАЭU┬а= change in internalenergy

├ОтАЭng┬а= change in numberof moles

For the given reaction,

├ОтАЭng┬а= ├в╦ЖтАШng┬а(products) ├втВмтАЬ ├в╦ЖтАШng┬а(reactants)

= (2 ├втВмтАЬ 1.5) moles

├ОтАЭng┬а= 0.5 moles

And,

├ОтАЭU┬а= ├втВмтАЬ742.7 kJ mol├втВмтАЬ1

T┬а= 298 K

R = 8.314 ├ГтАФ 10├втВмтАЬ3┬аkJ mol├втВмтАЬ1┬аK├втВмтАЬ1

Substituting the values in the expression of├ОтАЭH:

├ОтАЭH┬а= (├втВмтАЬ742.7 kJ mol├втВмтАЬ1) + (0.5 mol) (298 K)(8.314 ├ГтАФ 10├втВмтАЬ3┬аkJ mol├втВмтАЬ1┬аK├втВмтАЬ1)

= ├втВмтАЬ742.7 + 1.2

├ОтАЭH┬а= ├втВмтАЬ741.5 kJ mol├втВмтАЬ1
