The Enthalpy of combustion of 1.0 mole of a reactive metal X at 27^ C and 1.0 bar pressure to form a solid oxide (XO) is -601.83 ~kJ / mol . The Internal energy change for this reaction is ______ kJ . ( R =8.314 J ~K ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹ )
Options
- A-614.30
- B701.33
- C754.58
- D-600.58
Correct answer
D. -600.58
Step-by-step solution
Reaction: X_ (s) + 1 2 O_ 2(g) XO_ (s) n_g = 0 - 1 2 = -0.5 mol U = H - n_g RT U = -601.83 - (-0.5 8.314 10⁻³ 300) U = -601.83 + 1.247 = -600.58 kJ
