Thermodynamics of Reactions with Glucose

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the thermodynamic properties of reactions involving glucose, specifically focusing on enthalpy changes at different temperatures. The user successfully determined the reaction enthalpy at 298.15 K using literature values but is uncertain about how to adjust this for higher temperatures. They mention using Hess's law and heat capacities to find the change in enthalpy at 330.15 K. The user expresses difficulty in understanding the professor's explanations and seeks guidance on specific examples for similar calculations. Assistance is directed towards relevant tables in their materials for further help.

Homework Equations


ΔH rxn = ΔH products - ΔH reactants
ΔU = q + w


The Attempt at a Solution


Pretty overwhelmed with the entire problem. Since the ΔH's of all reactants and products were in the literature for the reference temperature of 298.15 K, I was able to plug them in and get the value for that temperature. I am not sure how it changes with temperature increase?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Perhaps heat capacity(-ies) is the reason where delta T = 298.15 K - 330.15 K.
 
Ah, okay I was able to the the change in enthalpy for 330.15 K by Hess's law, and adding delta H rxn (298.15K) to the integral of delta Cp dT integrated from To to T.

Now I'm stuck on b. part ii. I can't find any examples anywhere on calculating problems like this and my professor is so highly educated (MIT, Harvard, UPenn) that I can't understand him.

Ahh, any help is appreciated!
 
It lies somewhere in Table 4.1 and 4.2. That will get you started.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
