MCQ
Consider a reaction $2H_2O_{(l)} \to  2H_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)}$ Calculate the work done at $25\,^oC$ for the decomposition of $36\, ml$ of water ?
  • A
    $1.788\, K\,Cal$
  • B
    $2.576\, K\,Cal$
  • $-1.788\, K\,Cal$
  • D
    $-2.576\, K\,Cal$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$-1.788\, K\,Cal$
c
$36\, \mathrm{ml}-36\, \mathrm{g} \,\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\, \Rightarrow 2 \,\mathrm{mol} \,\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$

$\mathrm{w}=-\Delta \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{g}} \mathrm{RT}=-\frac{3 \times 2 \times 298}{1000}=1.788\, \mathrm{KCal}$
