Correct answer: 1411

  1. Given reaction

C2H4(g)+3O2(g)→2CO2(g)+2H2O(l)\mathrm{C_2H_4(g) + 3O_2(g) \rightarrow 2CO_2(g) + 2H_2O(l)}C2​H4​(g)+3O2​(g)→2CO2​(g)+2H2​O(l)

For a bomb calorimeter, the heat measured is at constant volume. Hence,

qv=ΔU=−1406 kJ mol−1q_v = \Delta U = -1406\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1}qv​=ΔU=−1406 kJ mol−1

So,

ΔU=−1406 kJ mol−1\Delta U = -1406\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1}ΔU=−1406 kJ mol−1


  1. Relate ΔH\Delta HΔH and ΔU\Delta UΔU

We use:

ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta n_g RTΔH=ΔU+Δng​RT

where Δng\Delta n_gΔng​ is change in moles of gaseous species.

From the reaction:

  • Gaseous reactants = 1+3=41 + 3 = 41+3=4
  • Gaseous products = 222

Thus,

Δng=2−4=−2\Delta n_g = 2 - 4 = -2Δng​=2−4=−2

Therefore,

ΔH=−1406+(−2)(8.3)(300)×10−3\Delta H = -1406 + (-2)(8.3)(300)\times 10^{-3}ΔH=−1406+(−2)(8.3)(300)×10−3

Converting RTRTRT into kJ:

2×8.3×300=4980 J=4.98 kJ2\times 8.3\times 300 = 4980\ \text{J} = 4.98\ \text{kJ}2×8.3×300=4980 J=4.98 kJ

So,

ΔH=−1406−4.98=−1410.98 kJ mol−1\Delta H = -1406 - 4.98 = -1410.98\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1}ΔH=−1406−4.98=−1410.98 kJ mol−1

Approximately,

ΔH≈−1411 kJ mol−1\Delta H \approx -1411\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1}ΔH≈−1411 kJ mol−1


  1. Condition for equilibrium / spontaneity limit

For a reaction to just reach equilibrium,

ΔG=ΔH−TΔS=0\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S = 0ΔG=ΔH−TΔS=0

Hence the minimum value of TΔST\Delta STΔS needed is equal to ΔH\Delta HΔH in magnitude:

TΔS=ΔHT\Delta S = \Delta HTΔS=ΔH

Since ΔH\Delta HΔH is negative here, the asked blank is given as (−) ‾ kJ(-)\,\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\,\text{kJ}(−)​kJ, so we report the magnitude:

∣TΔS∣=1411 kJ|T\Delta S| = 1411\ \text{kJ}∣TΔS∣=1411 kJ


  1. Final answer

1411\boxed{1411}1411​
