Alcohol is a pure substance
The atomic mass of an element on the periodic table is the weight of 1 mole of atoms. For example, the atomic mass of Fe is 55.8 on the periodic table. If you weigh out 55.8 grams of Fe you will have 1 mole of iron, or 6.02 x 1023 atoms.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
498 kj/mol
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- Chemical reactions occur as a result of bond breaking and bond formation.
- The bonds in reactants are broken and atoms are rearranged to form new bonds.
- During bond breaking energy is absorbed to break the bonds of reactants while bond formation involves the release of energy during the formation of new bonds.
In our case;
In 1 mole of the Oxygen molecule, there is one O=O bond
Energy absorbed to break O=O is 498 kJ/mol
Therefore, the ΔH required to break all the bonds in one mole of Oxygen(O₂) molecules is 498kJ/mol.
Note that, bond breaking is endothermic since energy is absorbed from the surroundings.
