    Given:

    Enthalpy change ΔH for the thermite reaction = - 850 kJ

    Moles of Al involved = 4

    To determine:

    Reaction enthalpy when 4 moles of Al reacts

    Explanation:

    The thermite reaction is-

    2Al (s) + Fe2O3 (s) → 2Fe (s) + Al2O3 (s)

    When 2 moles of Al react the enthalpy change is - 850 kJ

    therefore, when 4 moles of Al reacts, the change in enthalpy is-

    = 4 moles * (-850) kJ/2 moles = - 1700 kJ

    Ans: Enthalpy change is - 1700 kJ
