Given the following thermochemical equation, calculate the amount of heat (in kJ) that is released when 35.0 g of Na2O2 completely react with excess amount of water .

2 Na2O2 (s) + 2 H2O (l)   →   4 NaOH (aq)   + O2 (g) Δ H = - 126 kJ

Answer #1

Number of moles of Na2O2 = 35.0 g / 77.98 g/mol = 0.449 mole

From the balanced equation we can say that

2 mole of Na2O2 produces 126 kJ of heat so

0.449 mole of Na2O2 will produce

= 0.449 mole of Na2O2 *(126 kJ of heat / 2 mole of Na2O2)

= 28.3 kJ of heat

Therefore, the amount of heat produced would be 28.3 kJ
