The standard heat of formation(ΔfH2980)of ethane (inkJ/mol), if the heat of combustion of ethane, hydrogen and graphite are –1560, –393.5 and –286kJ/mol, respectively is .

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

2C(graphite)+3H2(g)→1C2H6+ΔHf(C2H6)
(A)C2H6+72O2→2CO2+3H2O
ΔHC=–1560
(B)H2+12O2→H2O
ΔHC=–393.5
(C) C(graphite)+O2→CO2
ΔHC=–286kJ/mol
ΔHf(C2H6)=3(–393.5)+2(–286)+1560
=–1180.5+(–572)+1560
=192.5
2Cgraphite+3H2→C2H6(1) eqn
C2H6+72O2→2CO2+3H2O(2) eqn
H2+12O2→2CO2+3H2O(3) eqn
Cgraphite+H2O→CO2(4) eqn
To get equation (1) eqn(2) + 2 × eqn(3) 2 × eqn
∆Hfof ethane=1560+2×-286+3(-393.5)
=1560-572-1180.5=192.5
