Enthalpy of reaction
« on: May 12, 2016, 05:15:23 PM »
When a complete combustion of methanol happens, you get this reaction:

4NH3(g) + 7O2(g)  :rarrow: 4NO2(g) + 6H2O(l)
ΔHf(NH3(g)) = -46,0 kj/mol.

Use the formation of entalphies and figure out the reaction of entalphy. Tables in my book is attached below:


Can anybody share their calculations? :)

The way the forum works is that you show your calculations and we tell you how you can improve them (if needed).

Thanks for clarifying :)
I figured it out eventually (how to solve it correctly).

Sidenotes:
NH3 is ammonia, not methanol
A natural combustion leaves N2. NO2 needs very special conditions.
