CO(g) + H\(_2\) O\(_{(g)}\) → CO\(_{2(g)}\) + H\(_{2(g)}\)
Calculate the standard heat change of the reaction above, if the standard enthalpies of formation of CO\(_{2(g)}\), H\(_2\)O\(_{(g)}\) and CO\(_{(g)}\) in kJmol\(^{-1}\) are - 394, -242 and - 110 respectively.

A.

+ 262 KJ mol -1

B.

- 262 KJ mol -1

C.

+ 42 KJ mol -1

D.

- 42 KJ mol -1

Correct answer is D

\(\Delta H (formation) (CO_2) = -394\)

\(\Delta H (formation) (H_2 O) = -242\)

\(\Delta H (formation) (CO) = -110\)

\(X = \sum H_{P} ^{F} - \sum H_{R} ^{F}\)

= (-394+ 0) - (-110 - 242 )

= -394 +352

= - 42 kJmol\(^{-1}\)

What number of moles of Cu 2+ will be deposited by 360 coulombs of electricity?
[f = 96500 C mol -1]

A.

5.36 x 10 -4 mole

B.

1. 87 x 10 10 -3 mole

C.

9. 35 x 10 -4 mole

D.

3. 73 x 10 -3

Correct answer is B

Cu\(^{2+}\) + 2e\(^{-}\)\(_{(aq)}\) \(\rightarrow\) Cu\(_{(s)}\)

Liberating 1 mole of Cu

2 x 1F = 2 x 96,500C = 193,000C of electricity is needed

Hence, 193,000C = 1 mole

360C of electricity = \(\frac{360C \times 1 mol}{193,000C}\)

= 0.001865 mol

= 1.87 x 10\(^{-3}\) moles
