Complete combustion of 75.0 g acetylene, C2H2, released 3750 kJ of heat. What is the ΔH
(heat of combustion)of acetylene? (Hint: you’ll need to write a balanced combustion reaction)
I wrote the combustion reaction as: 2 C2H2 5 O2 --> 4 CO2 2 H2O

The answer is -1302 kJ/mol but I can't seem to get it right, any help explaining how to get this answer would be great!

✔ 最佳答案
moles C2H2 = mass / molar mass = 75.0 g / 26.036 g/mol = 2.8806 mol

All of these properties are always for 1 mole of the specified compound
So when it wants heat of combustion of C2H2, it means for the reaction of 1 mole of C2H2

If it were to ask for the heat of formation of CO2, it means for 1 mole of CO2 to be produced.
etc

Now, we know 2.8806 moles C2H2 releases 3750 kJ (releases = -ve)
So ΔH of 2.8806 mol C2H2 = -3750 kJ

ΔH 1 mol C2H2 = -3750 kJ x (1 mol C2H2 / 2.8806 mol C2H2)
= -1302 kJ

C2H2 2.5 O2 --> 2 CO2 H2O, ΔH = -1302 kJ/mol

C₂H₂(g) + (5/2)O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) ...... ΔHc[C₂H₂(g)]

Molar mass of C₂H₂ = (12.01×2 + 1.01×2) g/mol = 26.04 g/mol
No. of moles of C₂H₂ burned = (75.0 g) /(26.04 g/mol) = 2.88 mol

ΔHc[C₂H₂(g)] = (-3750 kJ) / (2.88 mol) = -1302 kJ/mol
