2Al(s) + 3Cl₂ → 2AlCl₃
Forming the equation:
2(28) + 3(223) = ΔH + 2(111)
ΔH = 503 kJ
Writing this outside of the reaction equation:
ΔH = -503 kJ
Hydrogen. Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the bases, sugars, and phosphate groups (both within each component and between components). Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.
When hydrochloric acid and zinc were combined, the salt zinc chloride and hydroge gas are being produced in the flask. The flask was said to be sealed and, therefore, no gas could escape from the flask. As the temperature decreases, the pressure inside would decrease since the gas would have lower kinetic energy and would have less force to exert on the walls of the flask. This is also evident from the equation PV = nRT. As we can see pressure and temperature are directly related which means as one decreases, the other decreases as well or as one increases, the other would increase accordingly.
