AIPMT PRELIMS 2001 Chemistry Enthalpy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

Change in enthalpy for reaction 2H₂O₂(l) → 2H₂O(l) + O₂(g) If heat of formation of H₂O₂(l) and H₂O(l) are – 188 & – 286 KJ/mol respectively:

A

– 196 KJ/mol

B
  • 196 KJ/mol
C
  • 948 KJ/mol
D

– 948 KJ/mol

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The enthalpy change is calculated using the heats of formation: ΔH = [2(-286)] - [2(-188)] = -196 KJ/mol.
