Question

For the reaction H₂O(g) + Cl₂O(g) → 2HClO(g), you know ΔS°rxn and S° of HClO(g) and of H₂O(g). Write an expression that can be used to determine S° of Cl₂O(g).

Answer 1

The expression for  S°(Cl2O)(g) is given by ,

S°(Cl2O)(g) = 2×S°(HClO)(g) - S°(H2O)(g) - ΔS°rxn

Given ,

The balanced chemical equation is ,

H2O (g) + Cl2O (g) → 2HClO (g)

The general standard entropy of the reaction is given by ,

ΔS°rxn = sum of the S°(Product ) - sum of the S°(reactants )

ΔS°rxn = ΣmS°products  -  ΣnS°reactants

where , m and n are the stoichiometry coefficients of each product and reactants .

Thus , the standard entropy of the given reaction is given by ,

ΔS°rxn = 2×S° (HClO)(g)  - [ S°(H2O)(g) + S°(Cl2O)(g) ]

ΔS°rxn = 2×S° (HClO)(g) - S°(H2O)(g) - S°(Cl2O)(g)

Thus the S°(Cl2O) is given by ,

S°(Cl2O)(g) = 2×S°(HClO)(g) - S°(H2O)(g) - ΔS°rxn

Hence the expression for the standard entropy of Cl2O (g) is given by ,

S°(Cl2O)(g) = 2×S°(HClO)(g) - S°(H2O)(g) - ΔS°rxn

What is a balance chemical reaction ?

A balanced chemical reaction is a type of reaction which include the reactants and products in same amount i.e. the no of mole on both side of the reaction is remains same or balanced .
