Consider the reaction described by the following chemical equation.
HN3(l) + 2NO(g) ⟶ H2O2(l) + 4N2(g)
What is the enthalpy change associated with the production of 1mol of H2O2 if a reaction that produces 2.50g of H2O2 releases 65.9kJ of heat?
-Assume the reaction occurs under conditions of constant pressure.
-Report the answer to three significant figures.
-Include a negative sign if appropriate.
Balanced equation:
2 NH3(l) + 6 NO(g) ====> 3
H2O2(l) + 4 N2(g)
Reaction type: double replacement
Molar mass of H2O2 = 34.0147 g/mol
Mass of H2O2 reacted = 2.5 gm
Moles of H2O2 reacted = 2.5 gm / 34.0147 g/mol = 0.073497 Moles
Amount of heat released = -65.9 Kj
Since energy is released the negative sign appears.
Enthalpy change associated with the production of 1mol H2O2 = -65.9 Kj / 0.073497 Mol = -896.627 Kilo Joules / Mole
Hence -896.627 Kilo Joules of heat will be released for 1 Mole of H2O2
