Enter your answer in the provided box. Liquid methanol (CH3OH) can be used as an alternative fuel in pickup and SUV engines. An industrial method for preparing it uses the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide: CO(g) + 2H2(g) CH3OH(l) How much heat (in kJ) is released when 15.0 L of CO at 85°C and 112 kPa reacts with 17.0 L of H2 at 75°C and 744 torr?

Respuesta :

Answer: E=∆H*n= -40.6kj

Explanation:

V(CO) =15L=0.015M³

P=11200Pa

T=85C=358.15K

PV=nRT

n=(112000×0.015)/(8.314×358.15)

n(Co)= 0.564mol

V(Co)= 18.5L = 0.0185m³

P=744torr=98191.84Pa

T= 75C = 388.15k

PV=nRT

n= (99191.84×0.0185)/(8.314×348.15)

n(H2) = 0.634mol

n(CH30H) =1/2n(H2)=1/2×0.634mol

=0.317mol

∆H =∆Hf{CH3OH}-∆Hf(Co)

∆H=-238.6-(-110.5)

∆H = 128.1kj

E=∆H×n=-40.6kj.

The amount of heat (in kJ) is released when 15.0 L of CO at 85°C and 112 kPa reacts with 17.0 L of H2 at 75°C and 744 torr is;

Q = -37.58 KJ

We are given the reaction as;

CO(g) + 2H2(g) = CH3OH(l)

We are also given;

Volume of CO = 15 L

Temperature of CO = 85°C = 355 K

Pressure of CO = 112 KPa = 1.10535 atm

Volume of H2 = 17 L

Temperature of H2 = 75°C = 345 K

Pressure of H2 = 744 torr = 0.97895 atm

Number of moles of CO is gotten from the formula;

n = PV/RT

n = (1.10535 × 15)/(0.0821 × 355)

n = 0.5689 mol

Number of moles of H2 is;

n = (0.97895 × 17)/(0.0821 × 345)

n = 0.58755 mol

From tables, the enthalpy of formation and reaction of CO, H2 and CH3OH are;

ΔHf° CO = -110.5 kJ/mol

ΔHf° H2 = 0 kJ/mol

ΔHf° CH3OH = -238.42 KJ/mol

From Hess's law, we know that;

ΔH_rxn = Σ(n × ΔHf°)_products - Σ(n × ΔHf°)_reactants

Now from the balanced reaction, we see that 1 mole of CO reacts with 2 mole of H2 to give 1 mol of CH3OH.

Thus;

ΔH_rxn = (1 × -238.42) - (1 × -110.5)

ΔH_rxn = −127.92 KJ/mol

Formula for quantity of heat is;

Q = n × ΔH_rxn

Putting 0.58755/2 mol because from the balanced equation given, 2 moles of H2 are used for every mile of CO and thus it means H2 is limiting..

Thus;

Q = 0.58755/2 × -127.92

Q = -37.58 KJ
