NEET2023ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
Consider the following reaction: 2 H ₂( ~g )+ O ₂( ~g ) 2 H ₂ O ( g ) _ r H ^ =-483.64 ~kJ . What is the enthalpy change for decomposition of one mole of water? (Choose the right option).
Options
- A18 ~kJ
- B100 ~kJ
- C120.9 ~kJ
- D241.82 ~kJ
Correct answer
D. 241.82 ~kJ
Step-by-step solution
2 H ₂ O ( g ) 2 H ₂( ~g )+ O ₂( ~g ) H ^ =483.64 ~kJ For decomposition of 2 moles of H ₂ O , enthalpy change =483.64 ~kJ For decomposition of 1 mole of H ₂ O , enthalpy change = 483.64 2 ~kJ =241.82 ~kJ
