Given the following data: Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) → 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g) ΔH = −23 kJ 3 Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) → 2 Fe3O4(s) + CO2(g) ΔH = −39 kJ Fe3O4(s) + CO(g) → 3 FeO(s) + CO2(g) ΔH = +18 kJ calculate ΔH for the reaction FeO(s) + CO(g) → Fe(s) + CO2(g).

ΔH° = -11 kj

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

1)   Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) → 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g)    ΔH = −23 kJ

2)   3 Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) → 2 Fe3O4(s) + CO2(g)   ΔH = −39 kJ

3)   Fe3O4(s) + CO(g) → 3 FeO(s) + CO2(g) ΔH = +18 kJ

Step 2: The balanced equation

FeO + CO → Fe + CO2

Step 3:  Calculate ΔH for the reaction FeO(s) + CO(g) → Fe(s) + CO2(g).

To get this equation, we need to combine the 3 equations

We have to multiply the third equation by 2.

2Fe3O4(s) + 2CO(g) → 6 FeO(s) + 2CO2(g) ΔH = +54 kJ

This equation we add to the second equation

3Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) + 2Fe3O4(s) + 2CO(g) → 2Fe3O4(s) + CO2(g) + 6FeO(s) + 2CO2 (g)

3Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) →  3CO2(g) + 6FeO(s)

ΔH°  = 2*18 + (-39) = 36 - 39 =  -3 kJ

This new equation we will divide by 3

3Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) →  3CO2(g) + 6FeO(s)

Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) →  CO2(g) + 2FeO(s)

ΔH°  =-3/3 = -1 kJ

Now we will substract this new equation from the first equation

Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) - Fe2O3(s) - CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO2(g) -2FeO(s) - CO2(g)

2CO(g)  + 2FeO(s)  → 2Fe(s) + 2CO2(g)

ΔH° = -23kJ +1kJ

ΔH° = -22 kj

The next equation we will divide by 2

2CO(g)  + 2FeO(s)  → 2Fe(s) + 2CO2(g)

CO(g)  + FeO(s)  → Fe(s) + CO2(g)

ΔH° = -22kJ /2

ΔH° = -11 kj

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
