Enthalpy of Reaction — Quiz

Question 5 • Chemistry

Consider these intermediate chemical equations. NO times g plus cap o sub 3 times g rightarrow NO sub 2 times g plus cap o sub 2 times g triangle cap h sub 1 is equal to negative 198 point 9 kJ 3 halves cap o sub 2 g rightarrow cap o sub 3 times g triangle cap h sub 2 is equal to 142 point 3 kJ cap o times g rightarrow 1 half cap o sub 2 g triangle cap h sub 3 is equal to negative 247 point 5 kJ What is the enthalpy of the overall chemical equation NO times g plus cap o times g rightarrow NO sub 2 times g ?

Answer
A
negative 304 point 1 kJ
B
negative 305 kJ
C
588 point 7 kJ
D
negative 93 point 7 kJ

Explanation

Add the three equations as written: ozone cancels, and the oxygen molecules also cancel because the net amount is 1 − 1.5 + 0.5 = 0. The remaining equation is NO(g) + O(g) → NO₂(g). Add the enthalpy changes: −198.9 + 142.3 − 247.5 = −304.1 kJ, so the answer is A, negative 304.1 kJ.
