    When 4 g of iron is burnt to ferric oxide at constant pressure, 29.28 kJ of heat is evolved. What is the enthalpy of formation of ferric oxide (At. Wt. of Fe = 56) [AIIMS 1999]

    A)                 ? 81.98 kJ            

    B)                 ? 819.8 kJ

    C)                 ? 40.99 kJ            

    D)                 + 819.8 kJ

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

              Given: Weight of iron burnt\[=4g;\] Heat liberated \[=29.28\,KJ\]and atomic weight of iron \[(Fe)=56\]. We know that in ferric oxide \[(F{{e}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}),\,2\,\,moles\]of iron or \[2\times 56=112\,gram\]of iron are burnt. We also know that when \[4grams\]of iron are burnt, then heat liberated    = 29.28 kJ, therefore when \[112\,grams\]of the iron are burnt, then heat liberated \[=\frac{29.28\times 112}{4}=-819.8\,kJ\] (Minus sign due to liberation of heat).
