The Romans used calcium oxide, $\mathrm{CaO}$, to produce a strong mortar to build stone structures. Calcium oxide was mixed with water to give $\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}$, which reacted slowly with $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ in the air to give $\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}$ $\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{CaCO}_{3}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})$ (a) Calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction. (b) How much energy is evolved or absorbed as heat if $1.00 \mathrm{kg}$ of $\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}$ reacts with a stoichiometric amount of $\mathrm{CO}_{2} ?$

Key Concepts

Stoichiometric Calculations

These calculations use the mole ratios from a balanced chemical equation to relate the quantities of reactants and products. They are crucial for converting the reaction enthalpy on a per mole basis to the total energy change associated with a specific mass or moles of a reactant or product.

Unit Conversions in Thermochemistry

Unit conversions ensure that all quantities are expressed consistently in calculations. This includes converting mass to moles, and joules or kilojoules per mole to total energy, which is essential when relating theoretical energy changes to practical laboratory quantities.

Standard Enthalpy of Formation

This concept involves the enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states. It is a fundamental quantity used to calculate reaction enthalpies by summing the formation enthalpies of products and subtracting those of reactants.

Hess's Law

Hess's Law states that the total enthalpy change of a reaction is the same regardless of the pathway taken, allowing us to use known enthalpy changes from formation reactions to calculate the overall reaction enthalpy via the sum of contributions from each step.
