The work done in an open vessel at 300 K , when 112 g iron reacts with dil. HCl is ( R = 2 cal mol - 1 K - 1 )
Options
- A1200   cal
- B600 cal
- C300 cal
- D200 cal
Correct answer
A. 1200   cal
Step-by-step solution
Fe + 2 HCl → FeCl 2 + H 2 1 mol 1 mol 1 1 2 5 6 = 2 mol 2 mol Now, V 2 = V H 2 and V 1 = 0 (For solid + aqueous state) Work done = - p ext Δ V = − Δ ( P V ) = − n H 2 R T = - 2 × 2 × 3 0 0 = - 1200 cals (Work of expansion)
