JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 17th March Morning Shift - No. 21)

The standard enthalpies of formation of Al2O3 and CaO are $$-$$1675 kJ mol-1 and $$-$$635 kJ mol$$-$$1 respectively.

For the reaction

3CaO + 2Al $$ \to $$ 3Ca + Al2O3 the standard reaction enthalpy $$\Delta$$rH0 = _________ kJ.

(Round off to the Nearest Integer)
Answer
230

Explanation

$$3CaO + 2Al\mathrel{\mathop{\kern0pt\longrightarrow} \limits_{}} 3Ca + A{l_2}{O_3}$$

$$\Delta H_{reaction}^o = 3\Delta {H^o}_f(Ca,s) + \Delta {H^o}_f(A{l_2}{O_3},s) - 3\Delta {H^o}_f(CaO,s) - 2\Delta {H^o}_f(Al,S)$$

$$ = 0 + ( - 1675) - 3( - 635) - 0$$

$$ = - 1675 + 1905$$

$$ = 230$$ KJ
