Answer:
[tex]2Al_(_S_) ~+~3NH_4NO_3_(_a_q_) ->3N_2_(_g_) ~+~6H_2O_(_g_) ~+~Al_2O_3_(_S_)[/tex]
[tex]Entalpy=-2861.9~KJ[/tex]
Explanation:
In this case, we have to start with the reagents:
[tex]Al~+~NH_4NO_3[/tex]
The compounds given by the problem are:
-) Nitrogen gas = [tex]N_2[/tex]
-) Water vapor = [tex]H_2O[/tex]
-) Aluminum oxide = [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex]
Now, we can put the products in the reaction:
[tex]Al_(_S_) ~+~NH_4NO_3_(_aq_) ->N_2_(_g_) ~+~H_2O_(_g_) ~+~Al_2O_3_(_S_) [/tex]
When we balance the reaction we will obtain:
[tex]2Al_(_S_) ~+~3NH_4NO_3_(_a_q_) ->3N_2_(_g_) ~+~6H_2O_(_g_) ~+~Al_2O_3_(_S_)[/tex]
Now, for the enthalpy change, we have to find the standard enthalpy values:
[tex]Al_(_S_)=0~KJ/mol[/tex]
[tex]NH_4NO_3_(_a_q_)=-132.0~KJ/mol[/tex]
[tex]N_2_(_g_)=0~KJ/mol[/tex]
[tex]H_2O_(_g_)=~-~241.8~KJ/mol[/tex]
[tex]Al_2O_3_(_S_)=~-~1675.7~KJ/mol[/tex]
With this in mind, if we multiply the number of moles (in the balanced reaction) by the standard enthalpy value, we can calculate the energy of the reagents:
[tex](0*2)~+~(-132*3)=~-396~KJ[/tex]
And the products:
[tex](0*3)~+~(-241.8*6)~+~(-1675.7*1)=-3125.9~KJ[/tex]
Finally, for the total enthalpy we have to subtract products by reagents :
[tex](-3125.9~KJ)-(-396~KJ)=-2729.9~KJ[/tex]
I hope it helps!
