SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the heat of reaction for the chemical equation TiCl4(g) + O2 → TiO2(s) + 2Cl2 at 1200K. Participants confirm that it is appropriate to use heat of formation values at 300K and then integrate the heat capacities (Cp) to account for temperature changes. The process involves calculating the change in enthalpy to cool the reactants to 300K, determining the heat of reaction at that temperature, and then heating the products back to 1200K. This method accurately reflects the heat of reaction at the elevated temperature.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamics, specifically enthalpy and heat of formation
  • Familiarity with heat capacity (Cp) calculations
  • Knowledge of integrating functions for temperature changes
  • Basic chemistry concepts related to chemical reactions and stoichiometry
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to calculate heat capacities for various substances at different temperatures
  • Study the integration of heat capacities to determine enthalpy changes
  • Explore the concept of standard heat of formation and its applications
  • Investigate the effects of temperature on reaction equilibria and kinetics
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, chemical engineers, and professionals involved in thermodynamic calculations and reaction engineering will benefit from this discussion.

Homework Statement


I am given the following chemical eqn

TiCl4(g) + O2 → TiO2 (s) + 2Cl2

I am also given some values on the heat of formation and the entropy of the substances but however only at 300Kelvin and i am given some values and the formula to calculate Cp of the substances

The question asks about the heat of reaction when the process is at 1200Kelvin.

Im just not too sure how to start. Am i able to just take the heat of formation values at 300K? IF i were to find out the heat of reaction for this process at 300k, is it possible that i integrate the Cp equation with T2 = 1200K and T1=300k?

Yes. You have the right idea. First, you take the change in enthalpy to bring the reactants down to 300 K, then you take the heat of reaction at 300 K, then you take the change in enthalpy to bring the products back up to 1200 K. This is the same as the heat of reaction at 1200 K. You integrate the heat capacities to get heat effects involved in cooling the reactants and heating the products.

ALRIGHT I managed to understand now. THANKS!
