<u>Answer:</u> The \Deltas H^o_{formation} for the reaction is -1406.8 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The chemical reaction for the formation reaction of AlCl_3 is:

2Al(s)+3Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3 (s)    \Delta H^o_{formation}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) HCl(g)\rightarrow HCl(aq.)    \Delta H_1=-74.8kJ    ( ×  6)

(2) H_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2HCl(g)    \Delta H_2=-185kJ     ( ×  3)

(3) AlCl_3(aq.)\rightarrow AlCl_3(s)    \Delta H_3=+323kJ     ( ×  2)

(4) 2Al(s)+6HCl(aq.)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3(aq.)+3H_2(g)    \Delta H_4=-1049kJ

The expression for enthalpy of formation of AlCl_3 is,

\Delta H^o_{formation}=[6\times \Delta H_1]+[3\times \Delta H_2]+[2\times \Delta H_3]+[1\times \Delta H_4]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{formation}=[(-74.8\times 6)+(-185\times 3)+(323\times 2)+(-1049\times 1)]=-1406.8kJ

Hence, the \Deltas H^o_{formation} for the reaction is -1406.8 kJ.

Which of the following has the most stable nucleus? <br><br> Fe<br><br> He<br><br> U<br><br> B
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Fe

Explanation:

<em>Ferrum</em><em> </em>[Iron] has the most stable nucleus because of <em>binding</em><em> </em><em>energy</em><em> </em><em>per</em><em> </em><em>nucleon</em><em>.</em><em> </em>Although Uranium<em> </em>is<em> </em>another possibility, in this case, it is more radioactive than Iron. It disintegrates very swiftly that all is done so, just to achieve stability.

I hope this helps you out alot, and as always, I am joyous to assist anyone at any time.

What else supports the idea that an exothermic reaction has occurred?
kodGreya [7K]
The main pieces of evidence that an exothermic reaction has occurred is an increase in temperature due to the release of energy, a release of energy in the form of light, or a release of gas.

3Al + 3NH4ClO4 → Al2O3 + AlCl3 + 3NO + 6H2O<br> How many moles of AlCl3 are produced?
zhuklara [117]

Answer: 1 mol of AlCl_3 will be produced from this reaction.

Explanation: Reaction follows,

3Al+3NH_4ClO_4\rightarrow Al_2O_3+AlCl_3+3NO+6H_2Oc

As seen from the balanced chemical equation above, we get

For every 3 moles of Aluminium and 3 moles of NH_4ClO_4, 1 mole of Al_2O_3 is formed.

For every 3 moles of Aluminium and 3 moles of NH_4ClO_4, 1 mole of AlCl_3 is formed.

For every 3 moles of Aluminium and 3 moles of NH_4ClO_4, 3 moles of NO is formed.

For every 3 moles of Aluminium and 3 moles of NH_4ClO_4, 6 moles of H_2O is formed.

C. Another radioisotope of americium exists which has an atomic mass of 242.
ollegr [7]

Answer:

1 g  

Explanation:

The half-life of Am-242 (16 h) is the time it takes for half of it to disappear.

We can make a table of the mass left after each half-life.

\begin{array}{cccc}\textbf{No. of} & & \textbf{Percent} & \textbf{Mass}\\\textbf{Half-lives} & \textbf{Time/h} & \textbf{Remaining} & \textbf{Remaining/g}\\0& 0 & 100 & 8\\1 & 16 &50 & 4\\2 & 32 & 25 & 2\\3 & 48 & 12.5 & 1\\4 & 64 & 6.25 & 0.5\\\end{array}

The mass remaining after 48 h  is 1 g.
