Physical Chemistry Question on Thermodynamics
Consider the following reaction:
2 C6H6+15 O2→12 CO2+6 H2O ΔrH2980 =−3120 kJ mol−1.
A closed system initially contains 5 moles of benzene and 25 moles of oxygen under standard conditions at 298 K. The reaction was stopped when 17.5 moles of oxygen is left. The amount of heat evolved during the reaction is____kJ.
(round off to the nearest integer)
Answer
The correct answer is: 1560
