Determine the Standard Enthalpy of Formation of Fe₂O₃(s)given the Thermochemical

question 25

Multiple Choice

Determine the standard enthalpy of formation of Fe₂O₃(s) given the thermochemical equations below. Fe(s) + 3 H₂O( ) → Fe(OH) ₃(s) + 3/2 H₂(g)
Δ_rH° = +160.9 kJ/mol-rxn
H₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) → H₂O( )
Δ_rH° = -285.8 kJ/mol-rxn
Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 H₂O( ) → 2 Fe(OH) ₃(s)
Δ_rH° = +288.6 kJ/mol-rxn

• A) -252.6 kJ/mol-rxn
• B) +163.7 kJ/mol-rxn
• C) -824.2 kJ/mol-rxn
• D) +33.2 kJ/mol-rxn
• E) + 890.6 kJ/mol-rxn

Definitions:

Optical Illusion

Visual perceptions that differ from objective reality, often involving misleading or distorted images that the brain interprets in a manner that diverges from the physical measurement of the stimulus source.

Optical Illusion

A visual phenomenon where what we perceive differs from objective reality, often due to the brain's interpretation of visual information.

Bending Light Rays

The refraction of light that occurs when its speed changes as it passes from one medium to another, causing the light to change direction.

Fatigue

A state of physical or mental weariness resulting from exertion, reducing efficiency and capacity for work.
