4C.3 Change in Enthalpy

Postby alicechien_4F » Wed Jan 29, 2020 12:52 pm

For question 4C.3, it asks "Calculate the final temperature and the change in enthalpy when 765 J of energy is transferred as heat to 0.820 mol Kr(g) at 298 K and 1.00 atm (a) at constant pressure; (b) at constant vol- ume. Treat the gas as ideal."

I understand how to calculate the final temperature (using qp = nCp*deltaT), but how do you calculate the change in enthalpy? Thank you!

When pressure is constant, q(p) = change in enthalpy. Therefore, the change in enthalpy = 765 J.

How would you set up the equation when applying it to b) constant volume?

To find the change in enthalpy at constant volume, you would need to use the equation ∆ H = ∆ U +nR∆T. ∆U = q+w but since we know that volume is constant, we know that the work done will be zero (since w=-P∆V). Thus, ∆U=q. You would then plug in the given values of q, n, and R as well as your calculated value of T into the equation to find ∆H. Hope this helps!

The answer for 4C.3a is missing from the solution. Did you get the following answers:

4C.3a ΔH = 765 J, Tf = 343 K

Using this for reference.

Yeah, I also got that for part (a)
