ENTHALPY CHANGE OF REACTIONS

Enthalpy changes of processes depend only on the end states. Normally the enthalpy change of reaction is known at some standard tem-... 

Note that the enthalpy change of reaction is a function of temperature, but a mean value often is adequate.

Heat effects accompanying chemical reaction influence equilibrium constants and compositions as well as rates of reaction. The enthalpy change of reaction, AHr, is the difference between the enthalpies of formation of the participants. It is positive for endothermic reactions and negative for exothermic ones. This convention is the opposite of that for heats of reaction, so care should be exercised in applications of this quantity. Enthalpies of formation are empirical data, most often known at a standard temperature, frequently at 298 K. The Gibbs energies of formation, AGfl likewise are empirical data. 

Enthalpy changes of processes depend only on the end states. Normally the enthalpy change of reaction is known at some standard temperature, Tb = 298 K for instance. The simplest formulation of the heat balance, accordingly, is to consider the reaction to occur at this temperature, to transfer whatever heat is required and to raise the enthalpy of the reaction products to their final values. 

A reaction, A 2B, reaches equilibrium with 73% conversion at 450 K and 1 atm. The Gibbs free energy of reaction at 298 K is +500 cal/gmol and the heat capacity difference is ACp =3.5 cal/gmol-K. Find the enthalpy change of reaction at 298 K.

Find the enthalpy change of reaction and the equilibrium constant as functions of temperature. 

Flow rate is 25 liters/hr or 100 gmol/hr of which 30% is reactant A. Inlet temperature is 350 K, heat capacity is 16 cal/gmol-K and enthalpy change of reaction is -2000 cal/gmol of A reacted. Find the outlet conditions. 

A batch filling process involves a reaction, A + B = C. Initial charge of A is Vr0 liters at T0. B then is charged at the rate Vb liters/hr at Cb0 and T0. The enthalpy change of reaction, the density and the heat capacity are related by AHr/pCp = constant. The reaction is first order with respect to B. Obtain expressions for the behavior of T and nb with time. 

Under steady adiabatic conditions in the absence of phase change the rate of enthalpy change of reaction equals the rate of heat transfer by conduction, that is,... 

The heat balance is made on the assumptions that conduction in the axial direction is relatively negligible and that the heat capacity is constant. The enthalpy change of reaction is AHr. The components of the heat balance over a differential element are,... 

We recall that enthalpy H is a state function (see Section 3.1), so the overall enthalpy change of the reaction is independent of the chemical route taken in going from start to finish. It is clear from Figure 8.28 that the initial and final energies, of the reactants and products respectively, are wholly unaffected by the presence or otherwise of a catalyst we deduce that a catalyst changes the mechanism of a reaction but does not change the enthalpy change of reaction. 

A coffee-cup calorimeter is well-suited to determining the enthalpy changes of reactions in dilute aqueous solutions. The water in the calorimeter absorbs (or provides) the energy that is released (or absorbed) by a chemical reaction. When carrying out an experiment in a dilute solution, the solution itself absorbs or releases the energy. You can calculate the amount of energy that is absorbed or released by the solution using the equation mentioned earlier. 

The enthalpy change of reaction varies with temperature as... 

Figure 2-8 The equilibrium constant of Reaction 2-79 as a function of temperature in InK versus lOOO/T plot. The rough straight line means that the standard state enthalpy change of Reaction 2-79 is constant. Solid circles are 1-atm data from Zhang et al. (1997a) and open circles are 500-MPa data from Zhang (unpublished data).
