A 5.00 g sample of iron metal is heated in excess oxygen, and the mass of the oxide formed is measured as 7.15 g. The standard enthalpies of formation are ΔfH°(FeO) = -272 kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔfH°(Fe₂O₃) = -822 kJ mol⁻¹. (a) Determine which oxide, FeO or Fe₂O₃, has been produced, (b) calculate the experimental enthalpy change per mole of iron based on the data, and (c) compare this value with the theoretical ΔH per mole of iron for the identified oxide.

Answer Options

A. Fe₂O₃; experimental ΔH ≈ -822 kJ mol⁻¹ Fe; does not match theoretical value for Fe₂O₃
B. FeO; experimental ΔH ≈ -272 kJ mol⁻¹ Fe; matches theoretical value for FeO
Correct Answer C. Fe₂O₃; experimental ΔH ≈ -411 kJ mol⁻¹ Fe; matches theoretical value for Fe₂O₃
D. FeO; experimental ΔH ≈ -411 kJ mol⁻¹ Fe; matches theoretical value for Fe₂O₃
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
Fe₂O₃; experimental ΔH ≈ -411 kJ mol⁻¹ Fe; matches theoretical value for Fe₂O₃
