QUESTION ANSWER

1.

Write the equivalences that this balanced thermochemical equation implies.

PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) → PCl5(g) ΔH = −87.9 kJ

1.

1 mol of PCl3 ⇔ 1 mol of Cl2 ⇔ 1 mol of PCl5 ⇔ −87.9 kJ

3.

How many kilojoules are given off when 17.8 mol of CH4(g) react?

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(ℓ) ΔH = −890.1 kJ

3.

15,800 kJ

5.

How many kilojoules are absorbed when 23.09 mol of C6H6(ℓ) are formed?

6C(s) + 3H2(g) → C6H6(ℓ) ΔH = 49.0 kJ

5.

1,130 kJ

7.

Glucose is the main fuel metabolized in animal cells:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O ΔH = −2,799 kJ

How much energy is given off when 100.0 g of C6H12O6 react?

7.

1,554 kJ

9.

Given the thermochemical equation

2CO2(g) → 2CO(g) + O2(g) ΔH = 566 kJ

how much energy is absorbed when 85.2 g of CO2 are reacted?

9.

548 kJ

11.

NaHCO3 decomposes when exposed to heat:

2NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(ℓ) ΔH = 91.5 kJ

What mass of NaHCO3 is decomposed by 256 kJ?

11.

470 g

13.

For the thermochemical equation

Fe2O3(s) + 3SO3(g) → Fe2(SO4)3 (s) ΔH = −570.2 kJ

what mass of SO3 is needed to generate 1,566 kJ?

13.

6.60 × 102 g
