An electron can become excited if it is given extra energy, such as if it absorbs a photon. Another way to excite an atom are through absorbing light and through collisions.

Manganese dioxide (MnO2(s), Hf = –520.0 kJ) reacts with aluminum to form aluminum oxide (AI2O3(s), Hf = –1699.8 kJ/mol) and mang

Temka [501]

Answer : The enthalpy of the reaction = -1839.6 KJ

Solution : Given,

$\Delta (H_{f})_{MnO_{2}}$ = -520.0 KJ/mole

$\Delta (H_{f})_{Al_{2}O_{3}}$ = -1699.8 KJ/mole

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$3MnO_{2}(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 2Al_{2}O_{3}(s)+3Mn(s)$

Formula used :

$\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=\sum n(\Delta H_{f})_{product}-\sum n(\Delta H_{f})_{reactant}$

$\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=(2\times \Delta H_{Al_{2}O_{3}(s)}+3\times \Delta H_{Mn(s)} )-(3\times \Delta H_{MnO_{2}(s) }+4\times\Delta H_{Al}(s))$

We know that the standard enthalpy of formation of the element is equal to Zero.

Therefore, the enthalpy of formation of (Mn) and (Al) is equal to zero.

Now, put all the values in above formula, we get

$\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=[2moles\times (-1699.8 KJ/mole)}+3moles\times (0\text{ KJ/mole}})]-[(3moles\times(-520.0KJ/mole }+4moles\times(0\text{ KJ/mole})]$
