Enthalpy of formation is calculated by subtracting the total enthalpy of formation of the reactants from those of the products. This is called the HESS' LAW.
ΔHrxn = ΔH(products) - ΔH(reactants)

Since the enthalpies are not listed in this item, from reliable sources, the obtained enthalpies of formation are written below.
ΔH(C2H5OH) = -276 kJ/mol
ΔH(O2) = 0 (because O2 is a pure substance)
ΔH(CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mol
ΔH(H2O) = -285.5 kJ/mol

Using the equation above,
ΔHrxn = (2)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (3)(-285.5 kJ/mol) - (-276 kJ/mol)
ΔHrxn = -1367.5 kJ/mol

<em>Answer: -1367.5 kJ/mol</em>

Answer: -1367.5 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_2H_5OH(l)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)

The expression for enthalpy change is,

\Delta H=\sum [n\times H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times H_f(reactant)]

\Delta H=[(n_{CO_2}\times H_f_{CO_2})+(n_{H_2O}\times H_f_{H_2O}) ]-[(n_{O_2}\times H_f_{O_2})+(n_{C_2H_5OH}\times H_f_{C_2H_5OH})]

where,

n = number of moles

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

\Delta H=[(2\times -393.5 kJ/mol)+(3\times -285.5 k) ]-[(3\times 0)+(1\times -276]

\Delta H=-1367.5kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy change for this reaction is, -1367.5 kJ

Approximately how many formula units of NaCl are in 116.88g of table salt (NaCl), knowing that the molar mass of NaCl is 58.44g/
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

116.88g of table salt (NaCl) contains two formula units

Explanation:

Now,

We know that 1 formula unit of sodium chloride has a molar mass of 58.44g/mol

Hence;

Mass of 1 formula unit = 58.44g

Mass of x formula units = 116.88g

x = 116.88g * 1 formula unit/58.44g

x = 2 formula units

Therefore;

116.88g of table salt (NaCl) contains two formula units

the equilibrium concentration of hydroxide ion in a saturated iron(ii) hydroxide solution is 1.2 x 10^-5 M at a certain temperat
Anit [1.1K]

From the calculation as shpwn in the procedure below, the equilibrium constant of the substance is 6.9 * 10^-15.

<h3>What is equilibrium constant?</h3>

The equilibrium constant for the solubility of aa solid in solution is called the solubility product Ksp. The Ksp shows the extent to which a solid is dissolved in solution.

Given that;

Fe(OH)2 ⇄Fe^2+ + 2(OH)^-

Ksp = s(2s)^2

We have s as 1.2 x 10^-5 M

So

Ksp = 4s^3

Ksp = 4( 1.2 x 10^-5 )^3

Ksp = 6.9 * 10^-15
