Use the given standard enthalpies of formation to determine the heat of reaction of the following reaction:2 LiOH(s) + CO₂(g) → Li₂CO₃(s) + H₂O(l)ΔH°f LiOH(s) = -487 kJ/moleΔH°f Li₂CO₃(s) = -1216 kJ/moleΔH°f H₂O(l) = -286 kJ/moleΔH°f CO₂(g) = -394 kJ/mole
Correct answer: D. -134 kJ
- A. -198.6 kJ
- B. +198.6 kJ
- C. +133.5 kJ
- D. -134 kJ
Explanation
To find the heat of reaction (ΔH°), apply the formula: ΔH° = ΣΔH°f (products) - ΣΔH°f (reactants). For this reaction: ΔH° = [(-1216 kJ/mole) + (-286 kJ/mole)] - [2*(-487 kJ/mole) + (-394 kJ/mole)]. This simplifies to: ΔH° = (-1502 kJ) - (-1668 kJ) = -134 kJ. Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: -134 kJ. Other options are incorrect due to errors in sign or magnitude, not representing the exothermic nature of the reaction.
