Solid urea, (NH2)2CO, burns to give CO2, N2, and liquid H2O. Its heat of combustion is -632.2 kJ/mol.
Write the balanced combustion equation. Record fractions as ratios (e.g. 1/2) if needed. Include aggregation states in your answer:
(NH2)2CO + 3/2 O2 -> CO2 + N2 + 2 H2O
Calculate the heat generated per mole of H2O formed to 0.1 kJ.
-316.1 kJ
the tolerance is +/-2%
Using this heat of combustion and the appropriate thermodynamic data, determine the heat of formation of urea to 0.1 kJ.
-332.9 kJ
