The value of the enthalpy of formation of H⁺ and O₂⁻ ions from Hydrogen and Oxygen at 25°C is:H₂O(l) → H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) ΔH = 57.32 kJH₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) → H₂O(l).

Correct answer: A. -228.88 KJ/mol

  • A. -228.88 KJ/mol
  • B. -343.52 KJ/mol
  • C. +228.88 KJ/mol
  • D. -22.88 KJ/mol

Explanation

For the formation of H⁺ ions from hydrogen and O₂⁻ ions from oxygen, the standard enthalpy of formation at 25°C is -228.88 KJ/mol. This is because the process involves breaking bonds in the reactants, often resulting in an energy release. Therefore, the negative sign indicates an exothermic process.
