Hi, I was working on some questions involving thermochemistry. I came across a problem involving heats and enthalpy that I don't know how to solve. I was wondering if anyone may please give me a hand with this. Thank You.
Question: How much heat is evolved when 1.022x10 moles of CO2(g) is produced from the combustion of CO(g).
2CO(g) + O2(g) -> 2CO2(g)
The enthalpies of formations are:
CO(g) -110.5 kJ/mol
O2(g) 0.0
CO2(g) -393.5 kJ/mol
H2O(l) -286.0 kJ/mol
I tried the problem and I applied the formula for findng enthalpies with the enthalpies of formation [i.e. (Sum of # moles x enthalpy of formation for products) - (Sum of # moles x enthalpy of formation for reactants)]
I got a value of -566 kJ/2mol so -283 kJ/mol, then I multiplied 10.22 mol to -283 kJ/mol, but the answer was wrong according to my book. If someone can help, that will be great. Thanks alot.
