H2 + O2 ➞ 2H2O ΔH = +285.5 kJ mol-1What will be the enthalpy change in the above reaction?

Correct answer: A. +285.5 KJ/mol

  • A. +285.5 KJ/mol
  • B. Zero kJ/mol
  • C. -285.5 kJ/mol
  • D. 1 kJ/mol

Explanation

ΔH is the heat change in the system. It is calculated by subtracting the sum of energy in reactants from the sum of energy in the products. Heat change of a system is also called the enthalpy change of the system.
