When 10 g C2H5OH(I) are formed, 51 kJ heat is liberated. Calculate standard enthalpy of formation of C2H5OH(I). |

Answer» Given : Mass of C2H5OH(I) = m = 10 g Heat liberated = ΔH1 = -51 kJ Molar mass of C2H5OH = 46 gmol-1 Standard enthalpy of formation of C2H5OH(I) = ΔfH = ? Standard enthalpy of formation is the enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mole C2H5OH(I) i.e., 46 g C2H5OH(I). Now, ∵ For the formation of 10 g C2H5OH(I) ΔH1 = -51 kJ ∴ For the formation of 46 g C2H5OH, ΔfH0 = \(\frac{-51\times 46}{10}\) = – 234.6 kJ mol-1 ∴ Standard enthalpy of formation of C2H5OH = ΔfH0 = – 234.6 kJ mol-1 |
