The enthalpy of combustion (ΔH°c) of
cis-1-ethyl-4-methylcyclohexane (C9H18) is
-5875.10 kJ/mol. Using the appropriate information given below,
calculate the enthalpy of formation (ΔH°f), in kJ/mol,
for cis-1-ethyl-4-methylcyclohexane.
Report your answer to two decimal places.
ΔH°f (CO2 (g)) = -393.51 kJ/mol
ΔH°f (H2O (l)) = -285.83 kJ/mol
The required reaction is 9C(s) + 9H2 (g)-------> C9H18(g), ^Hf =?? Now, from the given information the reactions can be written as:- C9H18(g) + 27/2 O2(g) -----> 9 CO2( g) + 9H2O(g), ^Hc = -5875.10KJ/ mole. H2(g) + 1/2 O2(g)------> H2O(g), ^ Hf= -285.3 KJ/ mole. C(s) + O2(g) --------> CO2(g), ^Hf= -393.5KJ/ mole. multiplying equation -3 by 9 and eqn-2 by 9 and then adding the two eqn,we get. 9C(s)+ 9H2 (g)+27/2 O2(g) -----> 9CO2(g) +9H2O(g), ^Hf= -6114.06KJ/mole ---eqn-4. Now,by subtracting eqn-1 from eqn-4,we get. 9C(s)+ 9H2(g) -----> C9H18(g), ^ Hf= -238.96KJ/ mole
