Answer:

Pesticides are best described as toxic chemicals used to control pest populations.

Explanation:

Pest is a destructive insect or other animal that attacks crops. Pesticides are used by humans to allow crops to develop and be available to harvest, otherwise, a lot of plants would be destroyed and agriculture would be less efficient.

I2(g) + Cl2(g)2ICl(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy change for the surroundings when 1.62 mol

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The change in entropy of the surrounding is -146.11 J/K.

Explanation:

Enthalpy of formation of iodine gas = $\Delta H_f_{(I_2)}=62.438 kJ/mol$

Enthalpy of formation of chlorine gas = $\Delta H_f_{(Cl_2)}=0 kJ/mol$

Enthalpy of formation of ICl gas = $\Delta H_f_{(ICl)}=17.78 kJ/mol$

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$I_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2ICl(g),\Delta H_{rxn}=?$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(ICl)})]-[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(I_2)})+(1\times \Delta H_f_{(Cl_2)})]$

$=[2\times 17.78 kJ/mol]-[1\times 0 kJ/mol+1\times 62.436 kJ/mol]=-26.878 kJ/mol$

Enthaply change when 1.62 moles of iodine gas recast:

$\Delta H= \Delta H_{rxn}\times 1.62 mol=(-26.878 kJ/mol)\times 1.62 mol=-43.542 kJ$

Entropy of the surrounding = $\Delta S^o_{surr}=\frac{\Delta H}{T}$

$=\frac{-43.542 kJ}{298 K}=\frac{-43,542 J}{298 K}=-146.11 J/K$

1 kJ = 1000 J

The change in entropy of the surrounding is -146.11 J/K.
