Q.
Calculate the standard heat of formation of carbon disulphide in liquid state. Given that the standard heat of combustion of carbon (s) sulphur (s) and carbon disulphide (l) are 393.3,−29a72 and −1108.76kJmol−1 respectively is:
Use Hesss law to solve the problem.
Given : C(s)+O2(g)→CO2(g)ΔH1=−393.3kJ... (i) S(s)+O2(g)→SO2(g)ΔH2=−293.72kJ...(ii) CS2(l)+3O2(g)→CO2(g)+2SO2(g) ΔH3=−1108.76kJ ... (iii)
Required equation C(s)+2S(s)−CS2(g),ΔH=?
Multiply Eq. (ii) by 2 and add to Eq. (i) C(s)+2S(s)−3O2(g)→CO2(g)+2SO2(g) ΔH4=−392.3+2×−293.72=−979.14kJ ...(iv)
(iv) Subtract Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv) C(s)+2S(s)→CS2 ΔH=−979.14−(−1108.76)=128.02kJmol−1
