Question

Calculate the energy required to produce 6.0 moles of Cl2O7 using the following reaction 2 Cl2 + 7 O2 + 130kcal -> 2 Cl207

Answer 1

455 Kcal

Step-by-step explanation:

2Cl2(g) + 7O2(g) + 130kcal → 2Cl2O7(g)

Rearranging we get,

2Cl2(g) + 7O2(g) → 2Cl2O7(g) Δ H = 130 kcal . mol⁻¹

So for per mol reaction will be as above.

In case of 7 mols of product, we need 7/2 mole ratio x 130 = 455 Kcal
