Answer:
412.1kJ
Explanation:
For the reaction , from the question -
4Fe (s) + 3O₂ (g) → 2Fe₂O₃ (s)
Δ Hrxn = Δ H°f (products) - Δ H°f (reactants)
In case the compound is in its standard state , enthalphy of formation is zero
Hence ,
for the above reaction ,
ΔHrxn =( 2 * Δ H° (Fe₂O₃ )) - [ ( 4 *Δ H° Fe ) + (3 * Δ H° O₂ )]
The value for Δ H°(Fe₂O₃ ) = - 824.2kJ/mol
Δ H° Fe = 0
Δ H° O₂ = 0
Putting in the above equation ,
ΔH rxn = ( 2 * Δ H° (Fe₂O₃ )) - 0
ΔHrxn = 2× - 824.2 kJ / mol = - 1648.4 kJ/mol
- 1648.4 kJ/mol , this much heat is released by the buring of 4 mol of Fe.
Hence ,
for 1 mol of Fe ,
- 1648.4 kJ/mol / 4 = 412.1kJ
The frozen balloon shrank because the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules in a balloon decreases when the temperature decreases. This makes the molecules move more slowly and have less frequent and weaker collisions with the inside wall of the balloon, which causes the balloon to shrink a little.
