Reaction Heats
« on: March 05, 2013, 03:08:59 AM »
Given:

1. Na(s)  :rarrow: Na(g) ΔH = 109 kJ
2. ΔH°diss = 251 kJ for O2
3. ΔH°diss = 435 kJ for H2
4. ΔH°diss = 465 kJ for O--H
5. ΔH°diss = 255 kJ for Na--O
6. ΔHsoln = -46 kJ for NaOH(s)
7. ΔH°f = -427 kJ for NaOH(s)

Predict ΔH for NaOH(s) :rarrow: NaOH(g)

Ans: 159 kJ

I understand the standard states of all substances for #1-3 but I am unsure of #6,7. I don't understand what the standard states are for #5,6 (both reactants and products). I don't understand what the physical state of sodium is for #7 (is it solid or gas ?). Also how will the aqueous ions produced from dissociation of sodium hydroxide in #6 cancel out ?  ???

Thanks!!  :)

sorry I meant to say "for #1-3 but I am unsure of #4,5,7. I don't understand what the standard states are for #4,5 (both reactants and products)."

it's been a long time now since any replies, should I make a new topic?

For bond dissociation I would assume state doesn't matter, for formation it is always from the substances in the standard state (so solid Na).

what do I do with enthalpy of solution, does that act as linking dissociation from solid to gaseous state? particularly for hydroxide?

No, that should be for NaOH(s) :rarrow: NaOH(aq).

what about  NaOH(aq) to NaOH(g) ?

In my worksheet, it says enthalpy of solution is the change in enthalpy which occurs when one mole of a substance is dissolved in water. The reaction in the worksheet also indicates that a substance like KOH(s) would dissociate into K+(aq) and OH-(aq) instead of KOH(aq)

I am actually to the point of wondering if I actually need to make use of all equations I listed in my first post. It seems that Na--O can't be cancelled so do I really need to incorporate it into my calculations ?

I have obtained the correct answer using all but one equation, the enthalpy of solution, which I don't know how to use at all. This is how I arranged my equations to give the correct answer:

1. 1/2 O2(g)  :rarrow: O(g) ΔH = 125.5 kJ
2. 1/2 H2(g)  :rarrow: H(g)  ΔH = 217.5 kJ
3. Na(s)  :rarrow: Na(g)  ΔH = 109 kJ
4. O(g) + H(g)  :rarrow: O--H  ΔH = -465 kJ
5. Na(g) + O(g)  :rarrow: Na--O  ΔH = -255 kJ
6. NaOH(s)  :rarrow: Na(s) + 1/2 O2(g) + 1/2 H2(g)  ΔH = 427 kJ

I don't know how to show the slant symbol for cancelling terms but if you add all equations together on paper, the final equation should be NaOH(s) + O(g)  :rarrow: O--H + Na--O. This is where I get confused, how do you remove the O(g) term on the reactant side so that the net reaction is NaOH(s)  :rarrow: O--H + Na--O OR NaOH(s)  :rarrow: NaOH(g)
