Coal is used as a fuel in some electric-generating plants. Coal is a complex material, but for simplicity we may consider it to be a form of carbon. The energy that can be derived from a fuel is sometimes compared with the enthalpy of the combustion reaction: C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g) Calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction at 25C. Actually, only a fraction of the heat from this reaction is available to produce electric energy. In electric generating plants, this reaction is used to generate heat for a steam engine, which turns the generator. Basically the steam engine is a type of heat engine in which steam enters the engine at high temperature (Th), work is done, and the steam then exits at a lower temperature (Tl). The maximum fraction, f, of heat available to produce useful energy depends on the difference between these temperatures (expressed in kelvins), f = (Th Tl)/Th. What is the maximum heat energy available for useful work from the combustion of 1.00 mol of C(s) to CO2(g)? (Assume the value of H calculated at 25C for the heat obtained in the generator.) It is possible to consider more efficient ways to obtain useful energy from a fuel. For example, methane can be burned in a fuel cell to generate electricity directly. The maximum useful energy obtained in these cases is the maximum work, which equals the free-energy change. Calculate the standard free-energy change for the combustion of 1.00 mol of C(s) to CO2(g). Compare this value with the maximum obtained with the heat engine described here.
The formation of aluminum oxide from its elements is highly exothermic. If 2.70 g Al metal is burned in pure O2 to give A12O3, calculate how much thermal energy is evolved in the process (at constant pressure).
Nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas to form ammonia gas .Consider the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen as depicted below: a. Draw what the container will look like after the reaction has gone to completion. Assume a constant pressure of 1 atm. b. Is the sign of work positive or negative, or is the value of work equal to zero for the reaction? Explain your answer.
2. In which of the following reactions is there a significant transfer of energy as work from the system to the surroundings? This occurs if there is a change in the number of moles of gases. C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2g) + 2 H2O(g) 2 C(s) + O2(g) → 2 CO(g) 2 Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2 MgO(s)
A bottle of soda has a head space containing 25.0 mL of CO2 gas at 4.2 atm pressure when the soda is at 4.4C. The bottle is opened slowly, letting the excess pressure escape. Howmuch work does the escaping CO2 do if the ambient pressure is 1.0 atm? Assume that the temperature remains constant.

There are millions of organic compounds known, and new ones are being discovered or made at a rate of morethan 100,000 compounds per year. Organic compoundsburn readily in air at high temperatures to form carbondioxide and water. Several classes of organic compoundsare listed, with a simple example of each. Write a balanced chemical equation for the combustion in O2ofeach of these compounds, and then use the data inAppendix J to show that each reaction is product-favoredat room temperature. From these results, it is reasonable to hypothesize thatallorganic compounds are thermodynamically unstable inan oxygen atmosphere (that is, their room-temperaturereaction with O2(g) to form CO2(g) and H2O() isproduct-favored). If this hypothesis is true, how canorganic compounds exist on Earth?
