The compositin of a sample of wustite isFe_(0-93)O_(1-00) , what precentage of the iron is present in the form ofFe(III) ?

Answer»

Solution :The composition is ` Fe_(0-93)`intereadof FeO because some ` Fe^(2+)`ions have been replaced by ` Fe^(3+)`ions. Let us first calcuate the number of ` Fe^(2+) and Fe^(3+)`ions present. The FORMULA ` Fe_(0.93) O _(1.00)`implies that93 Fe ATOMS are combined with 100O - atoms. Out of 93 Fe atoms , suppose Fe atoms present as ` Fe^(3+)`= x , then`Fe^(2+) = 93 -x `, as the compoundis neutral, totalcharge on ` Fe^(2+) and Fe^(3+)`ions = total CHARGE on ` O^(2-)`ions. Thus,
` 3 xx x + 2( 9 3-x)= 2xx 100 or 3 x +1 86-2x = 200 orx=14 , i.e. Fe^(3+) =14`
Hence, ` Fe^(2+) = 93 - 14=79`
Thus, out of 93 Fe atoms, Fe PRESNET as ` Fe^(3+)=14 ` :% ageof Fe presnet as Fe ( III)= ` 14/93 xx 100 = 15%`

The common salt was obtained from two different sources. In one sample, the percentage of chlorine was found to be 60.75 %. In the second sample, 3.888 g of chlorine were present in 6.4 g of the salt. Show that these data are in accordance to the law of constant proportion.

Answer»

Solution :The first SAMPLE of COMMON salt contains 60.75% CHLORINE.
In the second sample,
6.4 g of salt contains chlorine= 3.888g
`therefore` 100g of salt will contain chlorine `=(3.888 xx 100)/(6.4)`
Hence, the PERCENTAGE of chlorine in second sample = 60.75 %
Since, both the SAMPLES of common salt contain the same percentage of chlorine, the given data are in accordance to the law of constant proportion.

The combustion of one mole of benzene takes place at 298 K and 1 atm. After combustion, CO_(2(g)) and H_(2) O_((l)) are produced and 3267.0 kJ of heat is liberated. Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation, Delta_(r) H^( Theta ) of benzene. Standard enthalpies of formation of CO_(2(g)) and H_(2) O_((l)) are -393.5 kJ "mol"^(-1) and -285.83 "kJ mol"^(-1) respectively.

Answer»

Solution :The formation reaction of benzene is given by
`6C_("(graphite)") + 3H_(2(g)) to C_(6) H_(6(l)), Delta_(f) H^( Theta )= (?)….(i)`
Then enthalpy of combustion of 1 MOL of benzene is :
`C_(6) H_(6(l)) + (15)/(2) O_(2) to 6CO_(2(g)) + 3H_(2) O_((l)),`
`Delta_(C) H^( Theta ) = - 3267 "kJ mol"^(-1) ...(ii)`
The enthalpy of formation of 1 mol of `CO_(2(g))`,
`C_("(graphite)") + O_(2(g)) to CO_(2(g)) ,`
`Delta_(f) H^( Theta ) = -393.5 "kJ mol"^(-1) ...(III)`
The enthalpy of formation of 1 mol of `H_(2) O_((l))` is `H_(2(g)) + (1)/(2) O_(2(g)) to H_(2) O_((l)),`
`Delta_(f) H^( Theta ) = -285.83 "kJ mol"^(-1) ....(iv)`
Multiplying eq. (iii) by 6 and eq. (iv) by 3 we GET:
`6C_("(graphite)") + 6O_(2(g)) to 6CO_(2(g)),`
`Delta_(f) H^( Theta ) =-2361 "kJ mol"^(-1)`
`3H_(2(g)) + (3)/(2) O_(2(g)) to 2H_(2) O_((l)),`
`Delta_(f) H^( Theta )= -857.49 "kJ mol"^(-1)`
SUMMING up the above two equations :
`6C_("(graphite)") + 3H_(2(g)) + (15)/(2) O_(2(g)) to 6CO_(2(g)) + 3H_(2)O_((l)),`
`Delta_(f) H^( Theta ) = -3218.49 "kJ mol"^(-1) .....(V)`
Reversing equation (ii),
`6 CO_(2(g)) + 3H_(2) O_((l)) to C_(6) H_(6(l)) + (15)/(2) O_(2(g)),`
`Delta_(f) H^( Theta ) = 3267.0 "kJ mol"^(-1) ....(vi)`
Adding equations (v) and (vi), we get,
`6C_("(graphite)") + 3H_(2(g)) to C_(6)H_(6(l)),`
`Delta_(f) H^( Theta ) = 48.51 "kJ mol"^(-1)`

The combustion of benzoic acid occurs according to expression C_(6)H_(5)COOH(s) + 7(1)/(2)O_(2)(g) hArr 7CO_(2) + 3H_(2)O (l) in a bomb calorimeter at 25^(@) C . If it liberates Q_(v) "mol"^(-1) , then DeltaH for reaction is

Answer»

`-Q_(v)+(RT)^(1//2)`
`-Q_(v)+(RT)^(-1//2)`
`-Q_(v)+(1)/(2)RT`

Answer»

4152.6

`-3267.6`

SOLUTION :`C_(6)H_(6)(l) +(15)/(2)O_(2)(g) rarr6CO_(2)(g)+3H_(2)O(l)`
`Deltan_(g)= 6 - ( 15)/( 2)= - (3)/(2)`
`DeltaH=DeltaU+ Deltan_(g) RT`
`= - 3263.9 + ( - (3)/(2)) XX ( 8.314xx 10^(-3)) xx ( 298)`
`= - 3263.9 + ( -3.71)= - 3267 .6 kJ mol^(-1)`

SOLUTION :`C_(6)H_(6)(l) + (15)/(2) O_(2)(g) to 6CO_(2)(g) + 3H_(2)O(l)`
`Deltan_(g) = 6-15/2 = -3/2`
`DeltaH =DeltaU - Deltan_(g)RT`
`= -3263.9 + (-3/2) xx 8.314 xx 10^(-3) xx 298`
` = -3263.9 - 3.716`
` = - 3267.678`.
