15. Solar water-splitting is extensively explored as a promising alternative source of renewable energy (Cho, J., et al. Acc.
Chem. Res. 2019, 52, 645-655). This fossil fuel-independent technology involves solar light harvesting and the redox reaction
of water to produce energy-dense fuels, H2, and O2:
H2O(l) → H2(g) + 1/2O2(g); ΔΗrxn = +286 kJ
How much heat is evolved when 27.1 g O2 (M = 32.00 g/mol) is produced?
a. +121 kJ
b. +484 kJ
c. +1.52 kJ
d. +242 kJ
