Consider the following intermediate chemical equations.

Chemistry

QveST [7]3 years ago

Answer: 250 kJ

Explanation: According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to Hess’s law, the chemical equation can be treated as algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

P_4(s)+6Cl_2\rightarrow 4PCl_3  \Delta H_1=-2439kJ (1)

4PCl_5(g)\rightarrow P_4(s)+10Cl_2(g)  \Delta H_2=3438kJ (2)

Net chemical equation:

PCl_5(g)\rightarrow PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)  \Delta H=? (3)

Adding 1 and 2 we get,

4PCl_5(g)\rightarrow 4PCl_3(g)+4Cl_2 \Delta H_3=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2=-2439+3438=1000kJ   (4)

Now dividing equation (4) by 4, we get

PCl_5(g)\rightarrow PCl_3(g)+Cl_2

\Delta H=\frac{\Delta H_3}{4}=\frac{1000kJ}{4}=250kJ   (4)

What is the net ionic equation for a reaction between HCl and NaOH
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

What is the net ionic equation for a reaction between HCl and NaOH?

Explanation:

A salt is a neutral ionic compound. Let's see how a neutralization reaction produces both water and a salt, using as an example the reaction between solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The overall equation for this reaction is: NaOH + HCl → H2O and NaCl

Hope that helped.
