Problem

An industrial furnace must absorb exactly 750 kJ of energy by decomposing ammonium nitrate, a process whose molar enthalpy change is ΔHrxn=+25.4 kJ mol−1\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}=+25.4\,\text{kJ}\,\text{mol}^{-1}. Which expression correctly relates the number of moles nn of ammonium nitrate required to the heat qq that must be absorbed? a) n=−qΔHrxnn = -\dfrac{q}{\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}} b) n=qΔHrxnn = \dfrac{q}{\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}} c) n=2qΔHrxnn = \dfrac{2q}{\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}} d) n=q1000 ΔHrxnn = \dfrac{q}{1000\,\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}}
