Heat energy released is - 31.4 kJ.

Explanation:

CO₍g₎ + 2H₂₍g₎ → CH₃OH₍l₎

Volume of CO, V ₍CO₎ = 15 L = 0.015 m³

Pressure = 112 kPa = 112,000 Pa

T= 85 ⁰C = 85 + 273 = 358 K

As per ideal gas law,

PV = nRT

n = [tex]\frac{PV}{RT}[/tex]

   = 112000 × 0.015 / 8.314 × 358

 n(CO) = 0.56 moles

Volume of H₂ = 14.4 L = 0.0144 m³

Pressure = 744 torr = 99191.84 Pa

T= 75⁰C + 273 K = 348 K

n(H₂) = 99191.84 ×0.0144 m³ / 8.314 ×348 K

     = 0.49 moles of H₂

The above calculation shows that hydrogen is the limiting reagent.

n(CH₃OH) = n(H₂) /2

        = 0.49/2 = 0.245 mol

ΔH₍rxn₎ = ΔH₍f₎ (CH₃OH) - ΔH₍f₎(CO)

           = -238.6 -(-110.5)

           = -128.1 kJ/mol

Now we have to multiply ΔH₍rxn₎ with the moles of methanol.

E = ΔH₍rxn₎ × n(CH₃OH) = -128.1 ×0.245

        = - 31.4 kJ.

The reaction produces -4.95 kJ of heat when 15.0 L of CO at 85°C and 112 kPa reacts with 14.4 L of H2 at 75°C and 744 torr.

The equation of the reaction is;

CO(g) + H2(g) -------> CH2O(g)

The heat of reaction is obtained from;

Enthalpy of products - Enthalpy of reactants = (-116kJ/mol)  - (-110.5 kJ/mol)

= -5.5 kJ/mol

Number of moles of CO is obtained from;

PV = nRT

P =  112 kPa or 1.1 atm

T = 85°C + 273 = 358 K

n = ?

R = 0.082 atmLK-1mol-1

V = 15.0 L

n = PV/RT

= 1.1 atm × 15.0 L/ 0.082 atmLK-1mol-1 ×  358 K

= 0.56 moles

Number of moles of H2

n = PV/RT

P= 744 torr or 0.98 atm

V = 14.4 L

T = 75°C + 273 = 348 K

n =  0.98 atm ×  14.4 L/0.082 atmLK-1mol-1 ×  348 K

n = 0.49 moles

We can see that H2 is the limiting reactant here hence 0.49 moles of formaldehyde is produced.

If 1 mole of formaldehyde produces -5.5 kJ of heat

0.49 moles of formaldehyde produces -5.5 kJ ×  0.49 moles / 1 mole

= -4.95 kJ of heat
