Dependence of Enthalpy of reaction/phase change on temperature given by KIRCHOFFS equation

We know,

dH CP dT and for a measurable change

H2

T2

dH C dT
r

H1

r CP

Or

Where r CP

T1

H 2 H 1
......................(1)
T2 T1

C pm (Pr oducts) RC pm (Re ac tan ts)

p & R are respective stoichiometric coefficients of products & reactants in balanced chemical
reaction.
Similarly, it can be proved that,

r CV

U 2 U 1
......................(2)
T2 T1

Where r CV

CVm (Pr oducts) RCVm (Re ac tan ts)

Equation (1) & (2) called KIRCHOFFS equation.

Q.1

Calculate the enthalpy of formation of HCl (g) at 1450 K and 1 bar pressure, given that

0f [HCl,g] = 92.3 kJ/mol at 298 K and

Cp,m(H2,g) = 10 J/k mol
Cp,m(Cl2,g) = 20 J/k mol
Cp,m(HCl,g) = 15 J/k mol
Ans. -92.3kJ/mol

Q.2

Calculate the enthalpy of formation of HCl (g) at 1450 K and 1 bar pressure, given that

0f [HCl,g] = 92.3 kJ/mol at 298 K and

Cp,m(H2,g) = [29.06 0.8363 103 T + 20.11107 T2 ] J/k mol
Cp,m(Cl2,g) = [39.69 + 10.14 103 T 40.37 107 T2 ] J/k mol
Cp,m(HCl,g) = [28.16 + 1.81 103 T + 15.46 102 T2 ] J/k mol
Over the temperature range of 298 K to 1450 K

Ans. 95.1kJ/mol
