Question

A gaseous mixture of propane, acetylene and CO2 is burnt in excess of air. Total 4800 kJ heat is evolved. The total volume of CO2 (g) after combustion is 224 liters at NTP. The total evolved heat is used to perform two separate process :

(i) Vapourising 87.5% of water (liquid) obtained in the process of burning the original mixture.

(ii) Forming 3808 liters ethylene measured at STP from its elements.

ΔHH–H = 435 kJ/mol, ΔHC–H = 416 kJ/mol, ΔHC–C = 347 kJ/mol

ΔHC=C = 615 kJ/mol, ΔHC≡C = 812 kJ/mol, ΔHsublimation of (C, s) = 718 kJ/mol

ΔHºf(CO2, g) = – 394 kJ/mol, ΔHºf(H2O, ℓ) = – 286 kJ/mol, ΔHºf(H2O, g) = – 246 kJ/mol.

Let moles of C3H8 = x,   moles of C2H2 = y & moles of CO2 = z.

Calculation of ΔHºf of C3H8(g)

3C(s) + 4H2. (g) → C3H8(g)

ΔHºf of C3H8(g) = [3(718) + 4(435)] – [2(347) + 8 (416)]

= 3894 – 4022 = –128 kJ / mol. 

Calculations of ΔHºf of C2H2.(g)

2C (s) + H2(g) → C2H2(g)

of C2H2(g) = [2(718) + (435)] – [(812) + 2(416)]

= (1436 + 435) – [1644]

= 227 kJ/mol.

Calculations of ΔHºf of C2H4(g)

2C (s) + 2H2(g) → C2H4(g)

ΔHºf of C2H4 (g) = 2 (718) + 2 (435) – [615 + 4(416)]

= 2306 – 2279 = 27 kJ/mol.

Calculation of ΔHºcomb of C3H8(g)

C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O (ℓ)

ΔHcomb º of C3H8=3ΔHfºCO2+4ΔHfºH2O,ℓ-ΔHfºC3H8, g

= [3 (–394) + 4 (–286)] – (–128)  = –2198 kJ/mol.

Calculation of ΔHºcomb of C2H2(g)

C2H2(g) + 2.5O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + H2O (ℓ)

ΔHcomb º of C2H2=2ΔHfºCO2+ΔHfºH2O,ℓ-ΔHfº(CH)

= [2 (–394) + (–286)] – 227 = –1301 kJ/mol.

Now total heat released during combustion

2198 x + 1301 y = 4800  .............(i)

Combustion = 3x + 2y + z = 10   ..........(ii)

Total moles of H.O (ℓ) formed = 4x + y.

moles of C.H.(g) to be prepared = 380822.4=170

Total heat absorbed during evaporation of water formation of 170 moles C.H. = 4800.

[(4x + y) × 0.875 x 40] + (170 x 27) = 4800

4x + y = 6     .........(iii)

on solvent (i), (ii) and (iii)
