The following reaction takes place at isothermal conditions at T = 598 K:
CH3COOH + 2 H2 -> CH5OH + H2O
At 298 K, the reaction enthalpy is: H'298 = 7580 J/mol.
The average heat capacities for these compounds between T = 298 and T = 598 are:
[Cp]CH3COOH = 10.6 J/mol K
[Cp]H2 = 3.5 J/mol K
[Cp]C2H5OH = 11.1 J/mol K
[Cp]H2O = 4.2 J/mol K
What is H at 598 K? How much heating or cooling per mole of reaction would be required to keep the system at its fixed temperature?
