QAIPM-2001-Ch-2868: NEET 2001 Chemistry - Class 11 AIPM-2001-Ch-2868 Solution: Change in enthalpy for reaction, \(2H_2O_2(l) 2H_2O(l)+O_2(g)\) …
Change in enthalpy for reaction, if heat of formation of and are -188 and -286 kJ/mol respectively, is
Multiple Choice Options
- A kJ/mol
- B +196 kJ/mol
- C +948 kJ/mol
- D kJ/mol
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
2H 2 O 2(l) _ 2H 2 O (l) + O 2(g) , _ H r = ?
H 2(g)
+ O 2(g) _ H 2 O 2(l) ,
_ H = � 188 kJ mol ...(1)
H 2(g)
+ O 2(g) _ H 2 O (l) ,
_ H = �286 kJ/mol ....(2)
(1) - (2)
H 2 O 2(l) _ H 2 O (l)
+
1 2 O 2(g)
_ H = �286 � (� 188) = �98 kJ mol �1
Multiplying this equation by 2 we get the required
equation
2H 2 O 2(l) _ 2H 2 O (l)
+ O 2(g)
_ H = 2 (� 98) kJ/mol
= � 196 kJ/mol
