Find the heat of combustion of CS2\text{CS}_2.

Options

  1. A−1104 kJ mol−1-1104\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1}
  2. B1104 kJ mol−11104\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1}
  3. C807 kJ mol−1807\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1}
  4. D−807 kJ mol−1-807\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1}

Correct answer

A. −1104 kJ mol−1-1104\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1}

Step-by-step solution

The required reaction for the combustion of CS2\text{CS}_2 is:

CS2+3O2→CO2+2SO2\text{CS}_2 + 3\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + 2\text{SO}_2

This reaction can be obtained by applying Hess's Law using the given equations.

Reversing equation (i):
CS2→C+2S\text{CS}_2 \rightarrow \text{C} + 2\text{S}, ΔH1′=−117 kJ\Delta H_1' = -117\ \text{kJ}

Keeping equation (ii) as it is:
C+O2→CO2\text{C} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2, ΔH2′=−393 kJ\Delta H_2' = -393\ \text{kJ}

Multiplying equation (iii) by 22:
2S+2O2→2SO22\text{S} + 2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{SO}_2, ΔH3′=2×(−297)=−594 kJ\Delta H_3' = 2 \times (-297) = -594\ \text{kJ}

Adding the above three equations, we get the required reaction:
CS2+3O2→CO2+2SO2\text{CS}_2 + 3\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + 2\text{SO}_2

The heat of combustion is:
ΔH=ΔH1′+ΔH2′+ΔH3′\Delta H = \Delta H_1' + \Delta H_2' + \Delta H_3'

ΔH=−117−393−594=−1104 kJ mol−1\Delta H = -117 - 393 - 594 = -1104\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1}

Answer: −1104 kJ mol−1-1104\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1}
