Diborane is a potential rocket fuel that undergoes combustion according to the reaction, `B_(2)H_(6)(g) +3O_(2)(g) rarr B_(2)O_(3)(g) +3H_(2)O(g)` From the following data, calculate the enthalpy change for the combustion of diborane: |

Answer» `B_(2)H_(6(g))+3O_(2(g))rarr B_(2)O_(3(s))+3H_(2)O_((g)), DeltaH=?` Multiply `eq.(2)` and `(3)` by 3, add `eqs.(1),(2) and (3)` and then subtract `eq.(4)` from that `2B_((s))+(3)/(2)O_(2(g))rarr B_(2)O_(3(s)), DeltaH=-1273kJmol^(-1).....(1)` `3H_(2(g))+(3)/(2)O_(2(g)) rarr 3H_(2)O_((l)), DeltaH=-286xx3 ....(2)` `ul (3H_(2)O_((l)) rarr 3H_(2)O_((g)), DeltaH=44xx3 .....(3))` `2B_((s))+3H_(2(g))+3O_(2(g)) rarr B_(2)O_(3(s))+3H_(2)O_((g)),DeltaH=-1999` `ul ({:(2B_((s)),+3H_(2(g)),rarr,B_(2)H_(6(g)),,DeltaH=36),(-,-,,-," -"):})` `B_(2)H_(6(g))+3O_(2(g))rarr B_(2)O_(3(s))+3H_(2)O_((g)), DeltaH=-2035kJ mol^(-1)` |
