Answer:

11. 227 kJ·mol⁻¹; 12. 587 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

11. Calculate ΔH°f

The formula for calculating the enthalpy change of a reaction by using the enthalpies of formation of reactants and products is

ΔH°r = ΣmΔH°f(products) - ΣnΔH°f(reactants)

                        2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ ⟶ 4CO₂ + 2H₂O; ΔH°c = -1299 kJ·mol⁻¹

ΔH°f/kJ·mol⁻¹:      2x         0          -393     -286

2(-1299) = 4(-393) + 2(-286) - 2x

  -2598 = -1572 - 572 - 2x

  -2598 = -2144 -2x

    -454 = -2x

         x = 227 kJ·mol⁻¹

ΔH°f for acetylene is 227 kJ·mol⁻¹

12. Hess's Law

Warning: It is almost impossible to solve a problem like this by trial and error. You must have a strategy beforehand.

We have five equations:

(I)     Ca + 2C ⟶ CaC₂;                    ΔH =    -62.8   kJ

(II)   Ca + ½O₂ ⟶ CaO;                   ΔH =   -635.5  kJ

(III) CaO + H₂O ⟶ Ca(OH)₂;           ΔH =   -653.1   kJ

(IV) C₂H₂ + ⁵/₂O₂ ⟶ 2CO₂ + H₂O;  ΔH = -1300     kJ

(V)  C + O₂ ⟶ CO₂;                         ΔH =   -393.51 kJ

From these, we must devise the target equation:  

(VI) CaC₂ + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂;  ΔH = ?  

Here comes the strategy. Remember, you can use each of the given equations only once.  

Start with the target equation. It has CaC₂ on the left, so you need an equation containing CaC₂ on the left.  

Reverse Equation (I). When you reverse an equation, you <em>change the sign of its ΔH</em>.

(VII) CaC₂ ⟶ Ca + 2C; ΔH = 62.8   kJ

Equation (VII) has Ca on the right, and that is not in the target. You need an equation with Ca on the left to cancel it. Add Equation (II)

(VIII) Ca + O₂ ⟶ CaO; ΔH = -1271.0 kJ

Equation (VII) also has 2C on the right, and there is no C in the target. We need an equation with 2C on the left to cancel it.

Double Equation (V). When you double an equation, you double its ΔH.

(IX) 2C + 2O₂ ⟶ 2CO₂; ΔH = -587.02 kJ

Now, we must eliminate the CaO from Equation (VII). Add Equation (III).

(X) CaO + H₂O ⟶ Ca(OH)₂; ΔH = -653.1 kJ

Equation (VIII) has 2CO₂ on the right. You need an equation with 2CO₂ on the left.

Reverse Equation (IV).

(XI) 2CO₂ +H₂O ⟶ C₂H₂ + ⁵/₂O₂ ; ΔH = 2600  kJ

Now, we add all five equations,  cancelling substances that appear on both sides of the reaction arrow. All the formulas in italics have been cancelled

(VII)  CaC₂ ⟶ <em>Ca</em> + <em>2C</em>;                           ΔH =   62.8   kJ

(VIII) <em>Ca</em> + <em>½O₂</em> ⟶ <em>CaO</em>;                         ΔH = -635.5   kJ

(IX)   <em>2C </em>+ <em>2O₂</em> ⟶ <em>2CO₂</em>;                        ΔH = -787.02 kJ

(X)    <em>CaO</em> + H₂O ⟶ Ca(OH)₂;                ΔH = -653.1    kJ

<u>(XI)   </u><em><u>2CO₂</u></em><u> + </u><u>H₂O</u><u> ⟶ </u><u>C₂H₂</u><u> + ⁵</u><em><u>/₂O₂  </u></em><u>   </u> ; ΔH = <u>2600     kJ </u>

(VI)   CaC₂ + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂;  ΔH =    587     kJ

ΔH = 587 kJ

Aluminum metal reacts with bromine, a red-brown liquid with a noxious odor. The reaction is vigorous and produces aluminum bromi
GuDViN [60]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of bromine reacted is 160.6 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}        .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium = 18.1 g

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of aluminium}=\frac{18.1g}{27g/mol}=0.670mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of aluminium and bromide follows:

2Al+3Br_2\rightarrow 2AlBr_3

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium reacts with 3 moles of bromine gas

So, 0.670 moles of aluminium will react with = \frac{3}{2}\times 0.670=1.005mol of bromine gas.

Now, calculating the mass of bromine gas, we use equation 1:

Moles of bromine gas = 1.005 moles

Molar mass of bromine gas = 159.81 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.005mol=\frac{\text{Mass of bromine}}{159.81g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of bromine}=(1.005mol\times 159.81g/mol)=160.6g

Hence, the mass of bromine reacted is 160.6 grams.
