Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to water and oxygen at constant pressure by the following reaction: 2H2O2(l) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g) ΔH = -196 kJ Calculate the value of q (kJ) in this exothermic reaction when 3.00 g of hydrogen peroxide decomposes at constant pressure? Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to water and oxygen at constant pressure by the following reaction: 2H2O2(l) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g) ΔH = -196 kJ Calculate the value of q (kJ) in this exothermic reaction when 3.00 g of hydrogen peroxide decomposes at constant pressure? -1.73 × 104 kJ 1.92 kJ -8.65 kJ -17.3 kJ -0.0289 kJ

-8.64kJ

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2 H₂O₂(l) → 2 H₂O(l) + O₂(g) ΔH = -196 kJ

When 2 moles of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) descomposed, there are released -196kJ of energy.

Now, if 3,00g of hydrogen peroxide react, moles are:

3.00g × (1mol / 34.01g) = 0.0882moles H₂O₂

Releasing:

0.0882moles H₂O₂ × (-196kJ / 2mol H₂O₂) = -8.64kJ

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
