Question
Enthalpy changes depend on the number and type of bonds broken and formed.
Enthalpy changes depend on the number and type of bonds broken and formed.
The table lists the standard enthalpies of formation, , for some of the species in the reaction above.
Hydrogen gas can be formed industrially by the reaction of natural gas with steam.
CH4(g) + H2O(g) → 3H2(g) + CO(g)
Determine the enthalpy change, ΔH, for the reaction, in kJ, using section 11 of the data booklet.
Bond enthalpy for C≡O: 1077 kJ mol−1
Outline why no value is listed for H2(g).
Determine the value of ΔHΘ, in kJ, for the reaction using the values in the table.
The table lists standard entropy, SΘ, values.
Calculate the standard entropy change for the reaction, ΔSΘ, in J K−1.
CH4(g) + H2O(g) → 3H2(g) + CO(g)
Calculate the standard free energy change, ΔGΘ, in kJ, for the reaction at 298 K using your answer to (b)(ii).
Determine the temperature, in K, above which the reaction becomes spontaneous.
Markscheme
bonds broken: 4(C–H) + 2(H–O)/4(414) + 2(463)/2582 «kJ»
bonds made: 3(H–H) + C≡O/3(436) + 1077/2385 «kJ»
ΔH «= ΣBE(bonds broken) – ΣBE(bonds made) = 2582 – 2385» = «+» 197 «kJ»
Award [3] for correct final answer.
Award [2 max] for –197 «kJ».
