SHOW YOUR WORK

(1) Consider the conversion of glucose to ethanol (and CO2): C6H12O6 → 2CH3CH2OH + 2CO2 The heat of formation for glucose is -1273 kJ/mol, the heat of formation of ethanol is -277.7 kJ/mol, and the heat of formation for CO2 is -393.5 kJ/mol.

(a) What is the heat of formation for making ethanol and CO2 from glucose? ANSWER: -69.4 kJ/mol

(b) Is the reaction thermodynamically favorable? Why/why not?

(2) Calculate the specific enthalpy change when ethylene glycol is heated from 10°C to 20°C. The heat capacity for ethylene glycol is Cp=0.569 cal/g*°C. ANSWER: 5.69 cal/g
