Answer #1

Formation of C2H5OH from its elements

2C + 3H2 + 1/2O2 = C2H5OH

Hf1 = - 224 kJ/mol

Reverse the equation

C2H5OH = 2C + 3H2 + 1/2O2.......... Eq1

H1 = 224 kJ/mol

Formation of CO2 from its elements

C + O2 = CO2

Hf2 = - 398 kJ/mol

Multiply by 2

2C + 2O2 = 2CO2.........eq2

H2 = - 2 x 398 = - 796 kJ/mol

Formation of H2O from its elements

H2 + 1/2O2 = H2O

Hf3 = - 281 kJ/mol

Multiply by 3

3H2 + 3/2O2 = 3H2O............eq3

H3 = - 3 x 281 = - 843 kJ/mol

Now add the above equations

Eq1 + Eq2 + Eq3

We get

C2H5OH + 3O2 = 2 CO2 + 3 H2O

From the Hess law

enthalpy change of the reaction

H = H1 + H2 + H3

= 224 - 796 - 843

= - 1415 kJ/mol
