Page 5: Practical Example of Enthalpy Change Calculation

This page presents a practical example of calculating the enthalpy change of combustion for ethanol.

Example: Given experimental data:

  • Mass of water = 400 g
  • Temperature change of water = +36.5 °C
  • Mass of fuel combusted = 3.75 g
  • Molar mass of ethanol = 46.0 g mol⁻¹

The calculation process is demonstrated step-by-step:

  1. Calculate thermal energy transferred: q = 400 × 4.18 × 36.5 = 61,028 J = 61.028 kJ
  2. Determine moles of fuel: 3.75 g ÷ 46.0 g mol⁻¹ = 0.0815 mol
  3. Calculate enthalpy change: ΔcH° = 61.028 kJ ÷ 0.0815 mol = -748.8 kJ mol⁻¹

Page 6: Enthalpy Change of Combustion for Liquid Fuels

This page focuses on the practical determination of enthalpy change of combustion for liquid fuels.

Highlight: The density of water is 1 g cm⁻³, and its specific heat capacity is 4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹.

Steps for determining enthalpy change of combustion:

  1. Burn a known mass of the substance in air.
  2. Use it to heat a known mass of water.
  3. Measure the temperature change of the water.

Example: Calculation for propan-1-ol combustion:

  • 1.50 g of propan-1-ol heated 250 cm³ of water by 45°C
  • Heat gained by water: Q = 250 × 4.18 × 45 = 47,025 J

The page emphasizes that combustion reactions are exothermic, releasing heat to the surroundings.

Page 2: Standard Conditions and Enthalpy of Combustion

This page delves into the specifics of standard conditions and introduces the concept of standard enthalpy change of combustion.

Definition: The standard enthalpy change of combustion (ΔcH°) is the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard states.

Standard conditions are defined as:

  • Temperature: 298 K (25°C)
  • Pressure: 100 kPa
  • Concentration: 1 mol dm⁻³ for solutions

The page also emphasizes that all chemicals must be in their standard states (solid, liquid, or gas) under these conditions.

Page 3: Combustion Reactions and Calculations

This section focuses on combustion reactions and how to recognize complete combustion.

Example: The complete combustion of ethane is represented by the equation: C₂H₆(g) + 3.5O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l)

Key points for combustion reactions:

  1. Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide and water.
  2. All chemicals should be in their standard states at 298 K and 100 kPa pressure.
  3. The equation must be balanced.
  4. The combustible substance is always 1 mole, and other reactants are balanced accordingly.

The page also introduces the method for calculating the standard enthalpy change of combustion using experimental data.

Page 4: Calculating Enthalpy Change of Combustion

This page provides a step-by-step guide to calculating the standard enthalpy change of combustion using experimental data.

Highlight: The formula q = mcΔT is used to calculate the thermal energy transferred to water during combustion.

Steps for calculation:

  1. Calculate the thermal energy transferred to water using q = mcΔT.
  2. Convert the energy from joules to kilojoules.
  3. Determine the number of moles of fuel combusted.
  4. Calculate the standard enthalpy change of combustion in kJ mol⁻¹.
  5. Add a negative sign to the result, as combustion reactions are exothermic.
