A certain vessel X has water and nitrogen gas at a total pressure of 2 atm. and 300 K. All the contents of the vessel are transferred to another vessel Y having half the capacity of the vessel X. The pressiure of N2 in this vessel was 3.8 atm. at 300 K. The vessel Y is heated to 320 K and the total pressure observed was 4.32 atm. Calculate the enthalpy of vapourisation of water assuming it to be independent of temperature. Also assume the volume occupied by the gases in a vessel is equal to the volume of the vessel.

Explanation

Pressure of nitrogen in Y = 3.8 atm.

Pressure of nitrogen in X = 1.9 atm.

Pressure of H2O(g) in X at 300 K = 2-1.9 = 0.1 atm

Pressure of N2 at 320 K : 3.8300×320= 4.05 atm.

Total pressure at 320 K : 4.32 atm.

Pressure of water vapour at 320 K = 4.32-4.05 = 0.27 atm.

Explanation

The given data are

(i) H2g2Hg                     H=435 kJ mol-1

(ii) Cl2g2Clg                 H=243 kJ mol-1

(iii) HClgHg+Clg      H=431 kJ mol-1

Explanation

The combustion reactions are

C2H4g+3O2g2CO2g+2H2OlCH4g+2O2gCO2g+2H2Ol

Let V be the volume of C2H4(g) in the gaseous mixture of 3.67 L.n From the chemical equations, we find that

Volume of CO2(g) produced due to the combustion of C2H4(g) = 2V

Volume of CO2(g) produced due to the combustion of CH4(g) = 3.67 L - V

Equating the latter with 6.11 L - 2V, we get

3.67 L - V = 6.11 L - 2V or V = 2.44 L

Hence, in the original mixture, we have

Volume of  C2H4(g) per litre of the mixture

=2.44 L3.67 L1 L=0.665 L

Volume of CH4(g) per litre of the mixture

= 1.0 L - 0.665 L = 0.335 L

Now, Volume of 1 mol of any gas at 25C

=22.414 L298 K273 K=24.467 L

Hence, Heat released due to the combustion of C2H4(g) 

=1423 kJ0.665 L24.467 L=38.68 kJ

Heat released due to the combustion of CH4(g) 

=891 kJ0.335 L24.467 L=12.20 kJ

Total heat released = (38.68 + 12.20) kJ = 50.88 kJ.

From the following data, calculate the enthalpy change for the combustion of cyclopropane at 298 K. The enthalpy of formation of CO2(g), H2O(l) and propene (g) are -393.5, -285.8 and 20.42 kJ mol-1 respectively. The enthalpy of isomerisation of cyclopropane to propene is -33.0 kJ mol-1.

The combustion of cyclopropane involves the formation of CO2 and H2O from the cyclopropane molecule. The enthalpy change can be calculated using the given enthalpies of formation and the enthalpy of isomerization of cyclopropane to propene, which acts as an intermediate step.

Explanation

H3BO3 is a Lewis acid that can accept an electron pair to form a conjugate base. The removal of a proton from H3BO3 leads to the formation of the conjugate base H2BO3-, which is a tetrahedral oxoanion containing a boron atom with a formal negative charge.
