Answer :
The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen is given as :
2H2O2 (l) 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
From, the above equation it is clear that 2 moles of H2O2(l) forms 2 moles of water and one mole of oxygen after decomposition.
We can calculate the energy change of this reaction by considering the energy of the each individual bonds in the reactants and products.
The energy change of the reaction = Total bond energy of the reactant - Total bond energy of the products.
The bond energies are :
Bond | Energy (kj/mol) |
O-H | 463 |
O-O | 146 |
O=O | 498 |
There are 2 O-H bonds and one O-O bond present in the H2O2 .
Thus, the bond energy of H2O2 is = 2*463 + 146 = 1,072 kJ/mole
Hence, for 2 moles of H2O2 the total amount of bond energy is = 2 moles*1072 kJ/mole = 2,144 kJ
Thus, the bond energy of the reactants is = 2144 kJ
There are 2 O-H bonds present in the water.
Thus, the bond energy of water is = 2*463 = 926 kJ/mol
Thus, for 2 moles of water the amount of bond energy is = 2 moles*926 kJ/mole = 1,852 kJ
There is only one O=O bond present in the oxygen.
Thus, the bond energy of oxygen is = 498 kJ
Thus, the total bond energy in the products is = 1852 kJ + 498 kJ = 2,350 kJ
Hence, the change of the energy of the reaction is = total bond energy of reactants - total bond energy of the products = 2144 kJ - 2350 kJ = - 206 kJ.
Thus, the reaction is an exothermic reaction.
The change of the energy of the reaction is ∆H = -206 kJ

Use bond energies to calculate ?Hrxn for the reaction. 2H2(g)+O2(g)?2H2O(g) Note: The answer is NOT 442 kJ or 442kJ/mol It gave me this hint when I got the answer wrong: The bond energies of H?H, O=O, and H?O are provided in the introduction. To determine the enthalpy of this reaction, sum all of the bond energies for the reactants (accounting for stoichiometric ratios as is), and subtract the bond energies for the product. Note how many bonds are in each...
