The reaction of magnesium metal with dilute sulphuric acid was used to produce 2.5 moles of hydrogen at 300 K and 1 atm pressure. The magnitude of work done in pushing back the atmosphere is (R = 2 cal/K-mol)

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Mg + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + H2(g). Only the gas expands against the atmosphere: |w| = Δn RT = 2.5 × 2 × 300 = 1500 cal. This is option (d).
