Answer:
46.3 kJ
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the thermochemical equation
2 N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ 2 N₂O(g) ΔH= +163.2 kJ/mol
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 25.0 g of N₂O
The molar mass of N₂O is 44.01 g/mol.
25.0 g × (1 mol/44.01 g) = 0.568 mol
Step 3: Calculate the heat released when 0.568 moles of N₂O are produced
According to the thermochemical equation, 163.2 kJ are required per 2 moles of N₂O.
0.568 mol × (163.2 kJ/2 mol) = 46.3 kJ
