Calculate the heat produced (in kJ ) when 224 gm of CaO is completely converted to CaCO 3 by reaction with CO 2 at 27 o C in a container of fixed volume.

Given : ΔH f o [ CaCO 3 ( s ) ]=1207 kJ/mol ; Δ H f o [ CaO( s ) ]=635 kJ/mol

Δ H f CO 2 , g = - 394 kJ/mol ;   Use R = 8.3 K -1 mol -1

The correct answer is: -702.04kJ
CaO s + CO 2 g CaCO 3 s

Δ r H = Δ H f CaCO 3 - Δ H f CaO - Δ H f CO 2

            = - 1 2 0 7 - - 6 3 5 - - 3 9 4

            = - 178 kJ/mol

    ∴   Δ E r = Δ H r - Δ n g RT

Δ E r = - 1 7 8 - - 1 × 8.3 × 3 0 0 1 0 0 0

        = - 175.51 kJ

n CaO = 2 2 4 5 6 = 4

∴   q v = n · Δ r E = 4 × - 175.51

          = - 702.04 kJ
