When 1 mole of hydrogen gas (H2) reacts with excess oxygen to form water at a constant pressure, 241.8 KJ of energy is released as heat. Calculate ΔH for a process in which 21.9 g sample of hydrogen gas (H2) reacts with excess oxygen at constant pressure.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The value of ΔH when 21.9 grams of hydrogen gas reacts with an excess of oxygen gas is 2,647.71  kilo Joules.

Explanation:

[tex]H_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow H_2O,\Delta H=-241.8 kJ[/tex]

Mass of hydrogen gas = 21.9 g

Moles of hydrogen gas = [tex]\frac{21.9 g}{2 g/mol}=10.95 mol[/tex]

When 1 mole of hydrogen gas reacts with an excess oxygen gas it gives 241.8 kJ of heat.

Then 10.95 moles hydrogen gas will give :

[tex]241.8 kJ\times 10.95 =2,647.71 kJ[/tex]

The value of ΔH when 21.9 grams of hydrogen gas reacts with an excess of oxygen gas is 2,647.71  kilo Joules.
