Using table 9.4, calculate an approximate enthalpy (in kj) for the reaction of 1.02 g gaseous methanol (ch3oh) in excess molecular oxygen to form gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. (hint, remember to first write the balanced equation.)

Given:

Mass of methanol = 1.02 g

To determine:

Enthalpy for the reaction of 1.02 g of methanol with excess O2

Explanation:

Balanced equation-

2CH3OH(g) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

The reaction enthalpy is given as:

ΔHrxn = ∑nH°f(products) - ∑nH°f(reactants)

where n = number of moles

H°f = standard enthalpy of formation.

ΔHrxn = [2H°f(CO2(g)) + 4H°f(H2O(g))] - [2H°f(CH3OH(g)) + 3H°f(O2(g))]

           = [2(-393.5) + 4(-241.8)]-[2(-201.5) + 3(0)] = -1351.2 kJ

Now, 1 mole of CH3OH = 32 g

The calculated ΔHrxn corresponds to 2 moles of CH3OH. i.e.

The enthalpy change for 64 g of Ch3OH = -1351.2 kJ

Therefore, for 1.02g gaseous methanol we have:

ΔH = 1.02 * -1351.2/64 = -21.5 kJ

Ans: The enthalpy for the given reaction is -21.5 kJ

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.
