Determine the enthalpy change for the reaction 2C(s) + 2H2O(g) → CH4(g) + CO2(g) using the following:
Sophie [7]

Answer : The enthalpy change for the reaction is, 97.7 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 this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression 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.

The given main chemical reaction is,

2C(s)+3H_2O(g)\rightarrow CH_4(g)+CO_2(g)    \Delta H=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) C(s)+H_2O(g)\rightarrow CO(g)+H_2(g)     \Delta H_1=131.3kJ

(2) CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2(g)    \Delta H_2=41.2kJ

(3) CH_4(g)+H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+CO(g)    \Delta H_3=206.1kJ

Now we are multiplying reaction 1 by 2 and reversing reaction 3 and then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) 2C(s)+2H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2CO(g)+2H_2(g)     \Delta H_1=2\times 131.3kJ=262.6kJ

(2) CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2(g)    \Delta H_2=41.2kJ

(3) 2H_2(g)+CO(g)\rightarrow CH_4(g)+H_2O(g)    \Delta H_3=-206.1kJ

The expression for enthalpy of main reaction will be,

\Delta H=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3

\Delta H=(262.6)+(41.2)+(-206.1)

\Delta H=97.7kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy change for the reaction is, 97.7 kJ

Write electronic configuration of chlorine in its ionic state?​
MrMuchimi

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Explanation:

Chlorine is a groups 17 element. The halogens for ions by accepting one electron to form univalent negative ions.

Since chlorine normally contains seventeen electrons, the chloride ion consists of eighteen electrons.

Hence the electronic configuration of chlorine ion is; 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6.

Challenge question: This question is worth 6 points. As you saw in problem 9 we can have species bound to a central metal ion. T
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

CN^- is a strong field ligand

Explanation:

The complex, hexacyanoferrate II is an Fe^2+ specie. Fe^2+ is a d^6 specie. It may exist as high spin (paramagnetic) or low spin (diamagnetic) depending on the ligand. The energy of the d-orbitals become nondegenerate upon approach of a ligand. The extent of separation of the two orbitals and the energy between them is defined as the magnitude of crystal field splitting (∆o).

Ligands that cause a large crystal field splitting such as CN^- are called strong field ligands. They lead to the formation of diamagnetic species. Strong field ligands occur towards the end of the spectrochemical series of ligands.

Hence the complex, Fe(CN)6 4− is diamagnetic because the cyanide ion is a strong field ligand that causes the six d-electrons present to pair up in a low spin arrangement.
