Hydrogen sulfide burns form sulfur dioxide:


2H2S(g) +3O2(g) → 2SO2(g) + 2H2O(g) ΔH= -1036 kJ


Calculate the enthalpy change when burning 26.7 g of hydrogen sulfide in kJ

pls help

Respuesta :

Answer: 404.04 kJ.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}[/tex]

moles of [tex]H_2S[/tex]

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{26.7g}{34.1g/mol}=0.78moles[/tex]

[tex]2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)[/tex]    [tex]\Delta H=-1036kJ[/tex]

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of [tex]H_2S[/tex] on burning produces = 1036 kJ

Thus 0.78 moles of [tex]H_2S[/tex] on burning produces =[tex]\frac{1036kJ}{2}\times 0.78=404.04[/tex]

Thus the enthalpy change when burning 26.7 g of hydrogen sulfide is 404.04 kJ.
