Chapter 6 Problem 27P

Question

Consider the reaction

\(\begin{aligned}2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g) \longrightarrow & 2\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \\\Delta H &=483.6 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\end{aligned}\)

If \(2.0\) moles of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)\) are converted to \(\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)\) and \(\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\) against a pressure of \(1.0\) atm at \(125^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), what is \(\Delta U\) for this reaction?

Solution

Step 1 of 2

The goal of the problem is to calculate \(\Delta U\) for this reaction given.

Given reaction:

\(2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\)

Given:

\(\Delta H=483.6 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\)

Number of moles of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}=2.0 \text { moles }\)

Pressure (P) = 1.0 atm

Temperature (T) = \(125^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

\(\Delta U\) is calculated using the formula shown below:

\(\Delta U=\Delta H-R T \Delta n\)

where \(\Delta H\) = change in enthalpy.

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol?K

T = Temperature

n = number of moles
