2 molofHggis combusted in a fixed volume bomb calorimeter with excess ofO2at298 Kand1 atmintoHgOs. During the reaction, temperature increases from298.0 Kto312.8 K. If heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter and enthalpy of formation ofHggare20.00 kJ K-1and61.32 kJ mol-1at298 K, respectively, the calculated standard molar enthalpy of formation ofHgOsat298 KisX kJmol-1. The value ofXis___[Given: Gas constantR=8.3 J K-1 mol-1]

Answer:
90.39
Solution:

2Hgg+O2g2HgOs

Heat capacity of calorimeter =20 kJ K-1

Rise in temperature =14.8 K

Heat evolved =20×14.8=296 kJ

ΔH°=ΔU°+ΔngRT

=-296-3×8.3×298×10-3

=-303.42 kJ

ΔH°=2ΔHf°HgOs-2ΔHf°Hgg

-303.42=2ΔHf°HgOs-2×61.32

2ΔHf°HgOs=-180.78 kJ

ΔHf°HgOs=90.39 kJ mol-1
