Question
When in danger, bombardier beetles can fire a hot, toxic mixture of chemicals at the
attacker.
This mixture contains quinone, CoH.O2, a compound that is formed by the reaction of
hydroquinone, CoH4(OH)2, with hydrogen peroxide, H202. The reaction is catalysed by
an enzyme called catalase.
The equation for the overall reaction is:
CoHa(OH)2(aq) + Hz2Oz(aq)
→ COH4O2(aq) + 2H20(1)
Use the following data to calculate the enthalpy change, in kJ mol, for the above
reaction.
CoH«(OH)2(aq)
CoH4Oz(aq) + H2(g)
AH = +177.4kJ mol
H2(g) + Oz(g)
H2O2(aq)
AH = -191,2kJ mol1
Ha(g) + 놀O2(g)
H20(g)
AH = -241.8kJ mol
H20(g)
H2O(1)
AH = -43.8kJ mol1
