Q.

Ethanol can undergo decomposition to form two sets of products. If the molar ratio of C2H4 to CH3CHO is 8:1 in a set of product gases, then the energy involved in the decomposition of 1 mole of ethanol is :

C2H5OH(g) C2H4(g)+H2O(g); ΔH=45.54kJ (1)

C2H5OH(g) CH3CHO(g)+H2(g);ΔH=68.91kJ (2)

Detailed Solution

We have,

C2H5OH(g) C2H4(g)+H2O(g); ΔH=45.54kJ (1)

C2H5OH(g) CH3CHO(g)+H2(g);ΔH=68.91kJ (2)

Energy used in the breakdown of ethanol equals the sum of the energies used in the first and second reactions.

i.e.

ΔHrxn=ΔH1+ΔH2

according to question

ΔHrxn=8×ΔH1+1×ΔH29

ΔHrxn=8×45.5+1×68.919

=48.13 kJ
