Question

Please especially part c, that is the question I am most confused on. 2. write the balanced chemical reaction equation for the combustion of liquid methanol (CH3oH). Include physical states. a. Calculate 4H0, ASo, and AG for this process at 25oC. b. Describe temperature-dependence of the spontaneity of this reaction, If it is temperature-dependent, then determine the temperature at which spontaneity changes. c. How mucli heat is involved when 0250kgofliquid methanol is combusted? Indicate whether heat is required ora emitted by this process.

Explanation / Answer

CH3OH + 1.5O2   CO2   + 2H2O

Hf0 (H2O) = -285.830 KJ/mol

Hf0 (CO2) = -393.5 KJ/mol

Hf0 (CH3OH) = -238.6 KJ/mol

H0 = -393.5 -2x 241.8 +285.830 = -591.27 KJ/mol

S0 (H2O) = 69.9 J/(mol x K)

S0 (CO2) = 213.6 J/(mol x K)

S0 (CH3OH) = 126.8 J/(mol x K)

S0 (O2) = 205 J/(mol x K)

S0 = 213.6 +2 x 69.9 -(1.5 x 205 + 126.8) = -80.9 J/(mol x K)

G0 = -59127- 298x(-80.9) = -35018.8 J/mol

-59127- Tx(-80.9) < 0

T<730.86 K the reaction is spontaneous.

C) 0.250 Kg of liquid methanol

Mole of methanol = 7.81

heat required = 7.81 x -591.27 KJ/mol = 4617.81 KJ

Heat is emitted by the reaction.
