Napthalene
Sol:
The required r × n is,
10C(S) + 4H2 (g) GoH8(s)
The required r × n is obtained by multiplying r × n (1) by 10m r × n (ii) by 4, reversing r × n (iii) and then adding, we get,
10 C(S) + 10O2 (g) 10CO2 (g) H = – 944.05 Kcal
4H2 (g) + 2 O2 (g) 4H2O (l) H = – 273.2 Kcal
10 CO2 (g) + 4H2O (l) GoH 8 (S) + 12O2 (g) H = + 1231.6 Kcal
10 C(S) + 4 H2 (g) GoH8(S) H = 14.35 Kcal
Heat of formation of Naphalene is 14.35 Kcal mol-1
Alternate solution:
Considering combustion of Napthalence, we have,
H reaction = H formation products – H formation preactants.
-1231.6 = (10 × H formation CO2 + 4 × H formation O2)
-1231.6 = {10 × (-94.405) + 4 × (-68.3)} – H formation of GoH8-O
-1231.6 = -944.05 + (-273.2) – H formation of GoH8
-1231.6 + 944.05 + 273.2 = – H formation of GoH8
-14.35 = – H formation of GoH8
H formation of GoH8 = 14.35 Kcal Jxole-1
