Question

what mass of hydrogen is consumed when 587.9 KJ of energy is evolved from the combustion of a mixture of H2O and O2? the reaction is: H2+ 0.5 O2 ---> H2O where delta H is negative 285.8 KJ what mass of hydrogen is consumed when 587.9 KJ of energy is evolved from the combustion of a mixture of H2O and O2? the reaction is: H2+ 0.5 O2 ---> H2O where delta H is negative 285.8 KJ what mass of hydrogen is consumed when 587.9 KJ of energy is evolved from the combustion of a mixture of H2O and O2? the reaction is: H2+ 0.5 O2 ---> H2O where delta H is negative 285.8 KJ

Explanation / Answer

H2+ 0.5 O2 ---> H2O delta H of the reaction = 285.8KJ

So this delta H is due to one mole of H2

SInce 587.9KJ is evolved that will be due to = 587.9/285.8 KJ/mol = 2.057 moles

Now as we need the mass of H2 = 2.057 * 2 = 4.114 grams of H2 is consumed
