Chemical Thermodynamics Question 474

Question: The standard heat of combustion of Al is ,837.8,kJ,mol1 at 25oC . If Al reacts with O2 at 25oC, which of the following releases 250 kcal of heat-

Options:

A) The reaction of 0.624 mole of Al

B) The formation of 0.624 mole of Al2O3

C) The reaction of 0.312 mole of Al

D) The formation of 0.150 mole of Al2O3

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • 2,Al+32O2Al2O3;

ΔHo=,837.8,kJ,mol1

2 mol 1.5 mol 1 mol 1 mol 0.75 mol 0.5 mol 837.8,kJ,mol1 Combustion of 1 mole Al or formation of 0.5 mole Al2O3

250,kcal=250×8.3142,kJ

=1.24,mol,Al

or =0.62,mol of Al2O3
