If 100 mole of decompose at 1 bar and 300 K, the work is done (kJ) by one mole of as it expands against 1 bar pressure is:

Answer: (1)

Solution

Only the oxygen is gaseous — both the hydrogen peroxide and the water are liquids — so the change in the number of moles of gas is simply the oxygen produced. From the stoichiometry, 100 mol of gives

n(O_2) = = 50\ mol.

For expansion
