Enthalpy of combustion of carbon to CO2 is -393.5 kJ mol-1. Calculate the heat released upon formation of 35.2 g of CO2 from carbon and dioxygen gas.

Answer»

Formation of CO2 from carbon and dioxygen gas is represented as:
2C(s) + 2O2 (g) ➝ 2CO2 ∆fH = -393.5 kJ mol-1
(1 mole = 44 g)
Heat released on formation of 44g CO2 = -393.5 kJ mol
Therefore, Heat released on formation of 35.2 g CO2 = 393.5 × 35.2 / 44 = 3.14 kJ mol-1
