MCQ
When $ 4 \,g$  of iron is burnt to ferric oxide at constant pressure, $29.28\, kJ $ of heat is evolved. What is the enthalpy of formation of ferric oxide ......$kJ$ (At. Wt. of $Fe = 56$ )
  • A
    $-81.98$
  • $-819.8 $
  • C
    $-40.99$
  • D
    $+ 819.8$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-819.8 $
(b)Given: Weight of iron burnt$ = 4\,g;$ Heat liberated $ = 29.28\,KJ$ and atomic weight of iron $(Fe) = 56$. We know that in ferric oxide $(F{e_2}{O_3}),\,2\,\,moles$ of iron or $2 \times 56 = 112\,gram$ of iron are burnt. We also know that when $4\,grams$ of iron are burnt, then heat liberated $= 29.28\, kJ, $ therefore when $112\,grams$ of the iron are burnt, then heat liberated $ = \frac{{29.28 \times 112}}{4} = - 819.8\,kJ$ (Minus sign due to liberation of heat).
