Let's solve this energy cycle problem, Ignatius.

Part 19

Part a

Give the name of H2\text{H}_2.

The name of H2\text{H}_2 is hydrogen gas (or simply hydrogen).

Part b

98 kJ mol−198 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}

Determine the value of ΔH3\Delta H_3.

  1. Apply Hess's Law to the energy cycle.

    Hess's Law states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the pathway taken.
    From the diagram, the direct path from H2(g)+O2(g)\text{H}_2(\text{g}) + \text{O}_2(\text{g}) to H2O2(l)\text{H}_2\text{O}_2(\text{l}) is ΔH1\Delta H_1.
    The indirect path is from H2(g)+O2(g)\text{H}_2(\text{g}) + \text{O}_2(\text{g}) to H2O(l)+12O2(g)\text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l}) + \frac{1}{2}\text{O}_2(\text{g}) (which is ΔH2\Delta H_2), and then from H2O(l)+12O2(g)\text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l}) + \frac{1}{2}\text{O}_2(\text{g}) to H2O2(l)\text{H}_2\text{O}_2(\text{l}) (which is ΔH3\Delta H_3).
    Therefore, according to Hess's Law:

    ΔH1=ΔH2+ΔH3\Delta H_1 = \Delta H_2 + \Delta H_3
  2. Substitute the given values and solve for ΔH3\Delta H_3.

    Given ΔH1=−188 kJ mol−1\Delta H_1 = -188 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} and ΔH2=−286 kJ mol−1\Delta H_2 = -286 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}.

    −188 kJ mol−1=−286 kJ mol−1+ΔH3-188 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} = -286 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} + \Delta H_3 ΔH3=−188 kJ mol−1−(−286 kJ mol−1)\Delta H_3 = -188 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} - (-286 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}) ΔH3=−188 kJ mol−1+286 kJ mol−1\Delta H_3 = -188 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} + 286 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} ΔH3=98 kJ mol−1\Delta H_3 = \boxed{98 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}}
