Capitolo 5, Problema 47a

Consider the combustion of isopropanol, C3H7OH(l), which is the primary component of rubbing alcohol: C3H7OH(l) + 9/2 O2(g) → 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(l) ΔH = -2248 kJ a. What is the enthalpy change for the reverse reaction?

Identify the given reaction: C_3H_7OH(l) + \(\frac{9}{2}\) O_2(g) \(\rightarrow\) 3 CO_2(g) + 4 H_2O(l) with \(\Delta\) H = -2248 \(\text{ kJ}\).
Understand that the enthalpy change (\(\Delta\) H) for a reaction is the energy change when the reaction occurs as written.
For the reverse reaction, the products and reactants are swapped: 3 CO_2(g) + 4 H_2O(l) \(\rightarrow\) C_3H_7OH(l) + \(\frac{9}{2}\) O_2(g).
The enthalpy change for the reverse reaction is the negative of the enthalpy change for the forward reaction.
Calculate the enthalpy change for the reverse reaction by changing the sign of the given \(\Delta\) H: \(\Delta\) H_{reverse} = -(-2248 \(\text{ kJ}\)).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Enthalpy Change

Enthalpy change (ΔH) is a measure of the heat absorbed or released during a chemical reaction at constant pressure. In exothermic reactions, like the combustion of isopropanol, ΔH is negative, indicating that heat is released. Understanding enthalpy is crucial for predicting the energy changes associated with chemical reactions, including both forward and reverse processes.

Combustion Reactions

Combustion reactions involve the reaction of a substance with oxygen, producing heat and light. In the case of isopropanol, the combustion results in carbon dioxide and water as products. Recognizing the characteristics of combustion reactions helps in understanding the energy dynamics and the stoichiometry involved in the reaction, which is essential for calculating enthalpy changes.

Reverse Reaction

The reverse reaction of a chemical process is simply the reaction proceeding in the opposite direction. For the combustion of isopropanol, the reverse reaction would involve the formation of isopropanol from carbon dioxide and water. The enthalpy change for the reverse reaction is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to that of the forward reaction, which is a fundamental principle in thermodynamics.
