How many moles of H2O2 is 3.5 g?
3.5 g H2O2 x 1 mol H2O2 / 34 g = 0.1029 moles H2O2
According to the balanced equation, 2 moles of H2O2 produces a change in enthalpy of 192 kJ. Using dimensional analysis, we solve for change in enthalpy for 0.1029 moles H2O2....
0.1029 moles x 192 kJ/2 moles = 9.88 kJ = -9.9 kJ (to 2 significant figures) <negative sign since exothermic>
