When one mole of zinc and two moles of hydrochloric acid undergo the reaction Zn(s)+2HCI(aq) ---> ZNCI2 (aq)+H2 (g), 150.0 kJ of thermal energy are released at 25.00 C and 1.000 atm. The H2 gas generated does approximately 2.500 kJ of work on the surroundings as it expands. Calculate ΔE for the reaction (assume only P-V work is done). a. +103.3 kJ b. -145.5 kJ c. -147.5 kJ d. +152.5 kJ e. -152.5 kJ
