Determine enthalpy of formation for $H_2O_2(\ell ),$  using listed enthalpies of reaction

${N_2}{H_4}(l)\,+\,2{H_2}{O_2}(l)\,\, \to \,{N_2}(g)\,\, + \,4{H_2}O(l);\,\,{\Delta _r}H_1^o\, = \, - 818\,\,kJ/mol$

${N_2}{H_4}(l)\,\, + {O_2}(g)\,\, \to \,{N_2}(g)\,\, + \,2{H_2}O(l);\,\,{\Delta _r}H_2^o\, = \, - 622\,\,kJ/mol$

${H_2}(g)\,\, + 1/2{O_2}(g)\,\, \to \,{H_2}O(l);\,\,{\Delta _r}H_3^o\, = \, - 285\,\,kJ/mol$

......$kJ/mol$

  • A
    $-383$
  • $-187$
  • C
    $-498$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-187$
b
Reaction of formation of $H _2 O _2$. can be calculated by reversing the first reaction and then subtracting from reaction $(2)$ and adding to double of reaction $3$. Since, it will give heat of formation for $2$ moles we will calculate for $1$ mole

$N _2( g )+4 H _2 O (l ) \rightarrow N _2 H _4( l )+2 H _2 O _2(l )$

$\triangle_{ r } H _1^{\circ}=818 \,kJ / mol \ldots(1)$

$N _2 H _4( l )+ O _2( g ) \rightarrow N _2( g )+2 H _2 O ( l ) ; \Delta_{ r } H _2^{\circ}=-622 kJ / mol \ldots\, (2)$

$\left[ H _2( g )+\frac{1}{2} O _2( g ) \rightarrow H _2 O ( l ) ; \Delta_{ f } H _3^{\circ}=-285 kJ / mol \right] \times 2....(3)$

For $H _2( g )+ O _2( g ) \rightarrow H _2 O _2( I )$

$\Delta_{ r } H ^{\circ}\left( H _2 O _2, l \right)=2 \times \Delta_{ r } H _3^{\circ}+\Delta_{ r } H _2^{\circ}-\Delta_{ r } H _1^{\circ}$

$=(2 \times-285)-622+818$

$=-374\, kJ$

Now, heat of formation of $1\, mole =\frac{-374}{2}=-187\, kJ / mol$
