Calculate the entropy change of surrounding if 2 moles of H ₂ and 1 mole of O ₂ gas combine to form 2 moles of liquid water by releasing 525 kJ heat to surrounding at constant pressure and at 300 K .

Options

  1. A1700 ~J ~K ⁻¹
  2. B1750 ~J ~K ⁻¹
  3. C1800 ~J ~K ⁻¹
  4. D1650 JK ⁻¹

Correct answer

B. 1750 ~J ~K ⁻¹

Step-by-step solution

Entropy change of the surrounding is calculated from S_ surrounding = q_ surrounding T . The heat released to the surroundings is q_ surrounding = 525~ kJ . To match the answer units, convert to joules: q_ surrounding = 525 1000 = 525000~ J . At temperature T = 300~ K , the entropy change becomes S_ surrounding = 525000 300 = 1750~ J ~ K ⁻¹ . This result corresponds precisely to option B.
