Answer:
B. - 210 kJ
Explanation:
<em>∵ ΔHrxn = ∑(bond energies)products - ∑(bond energies)reactants.</em>
- The bond formation in the products releases energy (exothermic).
- The bond breaking in the reactants requires energy (endothermic).
The products:
- H₂O contains 2 O-H (- 459 kJ/mol) bonds.
- O₂ contain 1 O=O (- 494 kJ/mol) bond.
The reactants:
- H₂O₂ contain 2 O–H (459 kJ/mol) bonds and 1 O–O (142 kJ/mol) bond.
∵ ΔHrxn = ∑(bond energies)products - ∑(bond energies)reactants.
<em>∴ ΔHrxn = [2 (2 x (O–H bond energy) + (1 x (O=O bond energy)] - 2 [(2 x (O–H bond energy) + (1 x (O–O bond energy)] </em>= [2 (2 x - 459 kJ/mol) + (1 x - 494 kJ/mol)] - 2 [(2 x 459 kJ/mol) + (1 x 142 kJ/mol)] = (- 2330 kJ) + (2120 kJ) = <em>- 210 kJ.</em>
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "2. are equal to the concentrations of the products." Given the reaction: HC2H3O2(aq) + H2O ↔ H3O+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq) When the reaction reaches a state of equilibrium, the concentration of product is equal yo the reactant.<span> </span>
