Solution
The correct option is C -472 kJ/mol Reaction of formation of H2O2. can be calculated by reversing the first reaction and then subtracting from reaction (2) and adding to double of reaction 3. Since, it will give heat of formation for 2 moles we will calculate for 1 mole N2(g)+4H2O(l)→N2H4(l)+2H2O2(l); △rHo1=818kJ/mol...(1) N2H4(l)+O2(g)→N2(g)+2H2O(l);△rHo2=−622kJ/mol ...(2)
[H2(g)+12O2(g)→H2O(l);△fHo3=−285kJ/mol] ×2 ....(3)
For H2(g)+O2(g)→H2O2(l) △fHo(H2O2,l)=2×△rHo3+△rHo2−△rHo1 =(2×−285)−622+818 =−374kJ
Now, heat of formation of 1 mole = −3742 = −187kJ/mol
