Heat of Reaction

[Sariin]

What is the standard Heat of Reaction for the chemical equation of:

 

CuSO4(aq) + H2(g) => H2SO4(aq) + Cu(s)

 

Of course, if I just knew the heats of formation of both CuSO4 and H2SO4, this could be solved much more easily.

well thats how you find out the heat of reaction.

 

what you need to do is either:

1/ go look up the heats of formation on the net

or

2/ go look up the heats of formation in a book.

 

the choice is yours.

the heats of formation are usually given in the question. If not, they're usually somewhere else in the resource you found the question in... for instance if it was a book, the heats are probably in a table or in an appendix.

Does the question tell you the electrode potential for the Cu/ Cu++ cell?

oh yes... i forgot that equation
