Question

Given the following thermochemical equation 2N2O(g) → 2N2(g) + O2(g) ∆Hº = –166.7 kJ/mol find the amount of heat that will be produced when a 2.25 g sample of N2O(g) decomposes into N2 and O2.A. 8.51 kJB. 4.25 kJC. 74.1 kJD. 2.13 kJE. 37.1 kJ

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g) + O₂(g)

molecular weight of N₂O = 44

∆Hº = –166.7 kJ/mol

44 g of N₂O decomposes to give 166.7 kJ of heat

2.25 g of N₂O decomposes to give 166.7 x 2.25 / 44 kJ of heat

= 8.51 kJ of heat .
