Savvas Realize. Investigation 8 Experiment 1

–1065.25 KJ of energy.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

4FeO + O₂ —> 2Fe₂O₃  ΔH = –560.66 kJ

From the balanced equation above,

The formation of 2 moles of Fe₂O₃ released –560.66 kJ of energy.

Finally, we shall determine the amount of heat energy released when 3.8 moles of Fe₂O₃ are produced. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

The formation of 2 moles of Fe₂O₃ released –560.66 kJ of energy.

Therefore, the formation of 3.8 moles of Fe₂O₃ will release

= (3.8 × –560.66)/2 = –1065.25 KJ of energy.

Thus, –1065.25 KJ of energy is released from the reaction.
