11. Use standard enthalpies of formation to calculate the value of _ H for the combustion of the alcohol in "gasohol", C2H5OH(l) :  [10]

12. Compounds with carbon-carbon double bonds, such as ethylene, C2H4, add hydrogen
in a reaction called hydrogenation. Thus    [12]
          3 C2H4(g) + 3 H2(g)  -->   3 C2H6(g)

  Calculate the enthalpy, delta H , change for this reaction, using the following data:
  [1] 12 CO2(g) + 12 H2O(l) --> 6 C2H4(g) + 18 O2(g); delta H1 = 8406 kJ
  [2] C2H6(g) + 7/2 O2(g) --> 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(l); delta H2 = - 1550 kJ
  [3] C(graphite) + 1/2 O2(g) --> CO(g); delta H3 = - 111 kJ
  [4] H2(g) + 1/2 O2(g) -->  H2O(l); delta H4 = 286 kJ

 











  Extra Credit . . . if you like

  A bomb type calorimeter is used to measure the heat evolved by the combustion of glucose, C6H12O6. A 3.00-g. sample of glucose is placed in the bomb, which is then filled with oxygen gas under pressure. The bomb is placed in a well-insulated calorimeter vessel that is filled with 1.20 kg of water. The initial temperature of the assembly is 19.00°C. The reaction mixture is ignited by the electrical heating of a wire within the bomb. The reaction causes the temperature of the calorimeter and its contents to increase to 25.50°C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 2.21 kJ/°C. Calculate delta E for the combustion of one mole of glucose [i.e. kJ/mol]. [12]
