The standard enthalpy of combustion of formaldehyde `Delta_(c)H^(@)=-571kJ`. How much heat will be evolved in the formation of 22 g of `CO_(2)` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Enthalpy of combustion of formaldehyde
`CH_(2)O_((g))+O_(2((g))rarr CO_(2(g))+H_(2)O((g))`
`Delta_(c)H^(@)=-571kJ`
`"Molar of "CO_(2)=("Mass of "CO_(2))/("Molar mass of "CO_(2))`
`=(22)/(44)=(1)/(2)=0.5`
`therefore" "` Heat evolved in the formation of 0.5 moles of
`CO_(2)=-571xx0.5 =-285.5kJ`
