Hess’s law:

  1. Calculate the heat of formation of ZnSO 4 from its elements using Hess’s law. Zn + S → ZnS ΔH1 = - 184.23 kJ/mol 2ZnS + 3O 2 → 2ZnO+2SO 2 ΔH2 = - 929.5 kJ/mol 2 SO 2 + O 2 → 2SO 3 ΔH3 = -196.8 kJ/mol ZnO + SO 3 → ZnSO 4 ΔH4 = -230.3 kJ/mol Ans: -977.7 kJ/mol

Hess’s law:

  1. Calculate the heat of formation of Chloroform gas from its elements using Hess’s law. C+O 2 →CO 2 ΔH1 = - 393.51 kJ/mol H 2 + ½ O 2 →H 2 O ΔH2 = - 285.83 kJ/mol ½ H 2 + ½ Cl 2 →HCl ΔH3 = -167.57 kJ/mol CHCl 3 + ½ O 2 + H 2 O → CO 2 + 3 HCl ΔHc = -2230.91 kJ/mol Ans: -100.44 kJ/mol

9. SO 2 gas is oxidized in 100% excess air with 70% conversion to SO 3. The gases enter

the converter at 400 oC and leave at 450 oC. Datum temperature is 0oC.

Cpm (cal/mol.C): SO 3 -15.5, SO 2 -11, O 2 -7.5 and N 2 -7.1.

ΔHR = -23490 cal/mol

Compute the kcal absorbed in heat exchanger of the converter per kmol of SO 2 sent.

Ans: -13944.55 kcal
