How much energy would be needed to make 10.0 grams of oxygen gas from water?
Ans : 178.625 kJ
The reaction is
H2O (l) --------> H2 (g) + 1/2O2 (g) : ΔH =285.8kJ/mol
no of mole of O2 produced = 10 / 32 mol
since ,when 0.5 mole O2 produce from water then 285.8kJ energy was required
so, 10/32 mole O2 produced from water require =285.8/0.5 x10/32 kJ
= 178.625 kJ
