Enthalpy Calculation
« on: September 25, 2009, 12:30:08 AM »
1.  The equation for the fermentation of glucose is :

C6H12O6 -> 2C2H2OH + 2CO2

If 37.2kJ of energy is evolved when 100g of glucose is fermented, what is the molar enthalpy of fermentation?

2.
3MgO + 2Fe ->Fe2O3 +3Mg

H rxn = 980.9kJ
How much energy is transferred when 47.8kJ of magnesium metal is produced?

3.
A red-hot piece of lead is dropped into water.
Whic of the following statements are true?
(Assume that there are no energy transfer between anything except lead and water)

A.  :delta:T lead is negative
B. q lead = q water
C. q water is positive
D. T final=  :delta:T water - :delta:T lead

Can B be accepted?
If it isn't, why is that?

* It would be helpful if somebody can list of all the steps thoroughly XD
Thanks XD

Enthalpies are directly proportional to moles, so you simply need to find out the number of moles involved and relate it to your ∆H values (anyway you should actually show your attempts before asking a question).
