The heat change associated when one mole of H+ is neutralized by one mole
of OH is called heat of neutralization, Honeutralization.
H+(aq) + OH(aq) H2O(l)

Honeutralization

(a) Calculate Honeutralization from Hof


(b) The Honeutralization can be experimentally determined by measuring the heat
involved when a strong acid is reacted with a strong base. A 40.00 mL of 1.0
M HCl was mixed with 60.00 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in a coffee cup calorimeter.
The temperature of the solution increased by 5.35 oC. Calculate Honeutralization.
(c) On a separate experiment, a 40.00 mL of 1.0 M unknown weak base was
mixed with 60.00 mL of 1.0 M HCl. The temperature of the solution increased
from 27.2 oC to 32.1 oC. Calculate Honeutralization of the unknown base.
(d) Compare the Honeutralization obtained in (c) to that obtained in (b) and suggest
reasons for any difference. (Hint: Does the result show the strength of the
base? Is the dissociation of the base exothermic or endothermic?)

2. Answer the following:


(a) Calculate the enthalpy change for the combustion of 1 mole of pentane,
C5H12(l) from Hfo data.
(b) How much heat (kJ) can be obtained from the complete combustion of 23.5
kg of liquid pentane?
(c) Calculate the enthalpy change using bond energy data (Section 9.4 in your
text).
(d) Is the calculated Hcombustion equal to the value in (a)? Explain any
discrepancy.

3. Determine the lattice energy of RbCl by constructing a Born-Haber cycle.


Construct an energy diagram.

4. The graph below shows how G varies with temperature for three different
oxidation reactions: the oxidations of C(graphite), Zn, and Mg to CO, ZnO, and
MgO, respectively. Such graphs as these can be used to show the
temperatures at which carbon is an effective reducing agent to reduce metal
oxides to the free metals. As a result, such graphs are important to
metallurgists. Use these graphs to answer the following questions.

(a) Why can Mg be used to reduce ZnO to Zn at all temperatures, but Zn cannot
be used to reduce MgO to Mg at any temperature? (Hint: Write the overall
equation for the reduction of ZnO by Mg to form Zn and MgO and calculate
the G at a particular temperature.
(b) Why can C be used to reduce ZnO to Zn at some temperatures but not at
others? At what temperatures can carbon be used to reduce zinc oxide?
(c) Is it possible to produce Zn from ZnO by its direct decomposition without
requiring a coupled reaction? If so, at what approximate temperatures might
this occur?
(d) Is it possible to decompose CO to C and O in a spontaneous reaction?
Explain.
(e) The slopes of the graph for the formation of ZnO and MgO from Zn and Mg,
respectively is positive, while that for the formation of CO from C is negative.
Explain why this is so, that is, explain the slope of each line in terms of
principles governing Gibbs energy change.

5. For each of the following reactions, determine whether the reaction is


spontaneous at all temperature, nonspontaneous at all temperature,
spontaneous only at high temperature, or spontaneous only at low
temperature. If its either of the last two cases, determine the temperature
above/below which the reaction will be spontaneous.
