Question
In a popular television series, the two characters use thermite to assist with breaking into a chemical
storage facility because the reaction between aluminum and iron(III) oxide produces a tremendous
amount of heat. If they began with 10.0 g of Al, how many kJ of heat would be released?
29.
2 Al(s) + Fe,O3(s) → Al,O;(s) + 2 Fe(s)
AH = -852 kJ
158 kJ
A)
B)
236 kJ
472 kJ
D)
None of the above

Expert Solution
Step 1

The enthalpy change of the chemical reaction when two moles of Aluminium reacted completely is given as -852 kJ (negatove sign indicate energy is released).

Therefore to calculate the total energy released for 10.0 grams of Al, first of all calculate the moles of Aluminium constituted by10.0 g by using formula...

mole = mass / molar mass

where, molar mass of Al = 27.0 g/mol
