Andreas Orr · Answer 1

- results in the absorption of 114 kJ of heat

Explanation:

2 Fe 2 O 3 ⟶ 4 Fe + 3 O 2 Δ H ∘ rxn = + 824.2 kJ / mol

Molar mass of Fe 2 O 3 = 159.69 g/mol

From the reaction above, 2 mol of Fe 2 O 3 has heat change of + 824.2 kJ / mol.

1 mol = 159.69 g

x mol = 44.0 g

x = 44 / 156.69 = 0.2808mol

0.2808 mol would have x?

2 = 824.2

0.2808 = x

x = (0.2808 * 824.2) / 2

x = + 115.72 kJ / mol.

A positive ∆H means that a reaction is endothermic as heat is absorbed from the surroundings to the system

This means the correct option is;

- results in the absorption of 114 kJ of heat
