Use the following data to calculate the standard heat (enthalpy) of formation, DH°f , of manganese(IV) oxide, MnO2 (s).
2MnO2(s) ® 2MnO(s) + O2(g) DH = 264 kJ
MnO2(s) + Mn(s) ® 2MnO(s) DH = -240 kJ
A. -24 kJ
B. 24 kJ
C. -372 kJ
D. 504 kJ
E. -504 kJ
Balanced equation for formation of MnO2(s) in its standard state is
Mn(s) + O2(g) -----------> MnO2(s) --------Eq(1)
Given reactions are
2MnO2(s) -----------> 2MnO(s) + O2(g) DH = + 264 kJ -----------Eq (2)
MnO2(s) + Mn(s) -------> 2MnO(s) DH = -240 kJ --------- Eq(3)
We have to rearrange Eqs (2) and (3) to get Eq(1).
Since O2(g) is reactant in Eq(1), write the reverse reaction of Eq(2)
2MnO(s) + O2(g) -------> 2MnO2(s) DH = - 264 kJ
Since Mn(s) is reactant in Eq(1), rewrite the same reaction in Eq(3)
MnO2(s) + Mn(s) -------> 2MnO(s) DH = -240 kJ
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2MnO(s) + O2(g) -------> MnO2(s) + MnO2(s) DH = - 264 kJ
MnO2(s) + Mn(s) -------> 2MnO(s) DH = -240 kJ
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cancel the similar terms on both sides and sum the all DH.
Then, the resultant reaction is
Mn(s) + O2(g) -----------> MnO2(s) DH= - 264 kJ + (-240 kJ) = -504 kJ
Therefore,
standard heat (enthalpy) of formation, DH°f , of manganese(IV) oxide, MnO2 (s) = -504 kJ
