Compute the heat of formation of liquie methyl alcohol is kilojoule per mol using the following data. Heat of vaporisation of liquid methyl alcohol `=38kJ//mol`. Heat of formation of gaseous atoms from the elements in their standard states `:H=218kJ // mol, C=715kJ //mol, O=249kJ //mol.` Average bond energies`:` `C-H415kJ//mol, C-O 356kJ//mol, O-H 463kJ //mol.` |

Answer» `C_((s))+2H_(2(g))+(1)/(2)O_(2(g)) rarr CH_(3)OH_((l)), DeltaH=?` `DeltaH=` Bond energy data for formation `+` Bond energy data for dissociation `+` Energy released during liquefaction `=-[3C-H+1C-O+1O-H]+[C_(srarrg)+2H-H+(1)/(2)O-O]-[CH_(3)OH_((g))rarr CH_(3)OH_((l))]` `=-[3xx415+356+463]+[715+2xx436+(1)/(2)xx249]-38` `=-266kJ mol^(-1)` |
