Solution

The correct option is B

- 4.955 kJ


The exn take place as follows

2Zn + 4HCl 2ZnCl2 + 2H2

When H2 gas is liberated in open vessel it pushes back its surrounding and thus does p - V with in surroundings

W = PextΔV = Pext(Vf Vx)

Vi = 0 thus ΔV = Vf

Vf = nRTPext

W = Pext × nRTPext = nRT

Given that n = 2, R = 8.314 J/K mol

T = 25+273 = 298K

W = 2 × 8.314 × 298 = 4955.144J = 4.955kJ
