Question

The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of Fe 3 O 4 (s) with hydrogen (g) to form iron and water vapor Fe 3 O 4 (s)+4H 2 (g) 3Fe(s)+4H 2 O(g) When 64.6 grams of Fe 3 O 4 (s) react with excess hydrogenſe) how much heat is absorbed?

Answer 1

Answer:

41.3kJ of heat is absorbed

Explanation:

Based in the reaction:

Fe₃O₄(s) + 4H₂(g) → 3Fe(s) + 4H₂O(g) ΔH = 151kJ

1 mole of Fe3O4 reacts with 4 moles of H₂, 151kJ are absorbed.

63.4g of Fe₃O₄ (Molar mass: 231.533g/mol) are:

63.4g Fe₃O₄ × (1mol / 231.533g) = 0.274moles of Fe₃O₄

These are the moles of Fe₃O₄ that react. As 1 mole of Fe₃O₄ in reaction absorb 151kJ, 0.274moles absorb:

0.274moles of Fe₃O₄ × (151kJ / 1 mole Fe₃O₄) =

41.3kJ of heat is absorbed
