Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An equation will be said balanced equation when there are equal number of atoms on both reactant and product side.

For example, $PCl_{5} + 4H_{2}O \rightarrow 5HCl + H_{3}PO_{4}$

Number of atoms on reactant sides are as follows.

P = 1

Cl = 5

H = 8

O = 4

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

P = 1

Cl = 5

H = 8

O = 4

Thus, there are equal number of atoms on both reactant and product side. Hence, this equation is balanced.

1. Which of the following is a correctly written thermochemical equation?

WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

1. Thermochemical equation is balance stoichiometric chemical equation written with the phases of the reactants and products in the brackets along with the enthalpy change of the reaction.

The given correct thermochemical reactions are:

$Fe(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow Fe_2O_3(s),\Delta H = 3,926 kJ
$

$C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2 (g)+4H_2O(l),\Delta H= 2,220 kJ/mol$

2. Phase change affect the value of the enthalpy change of the thermochemical equation. This is because change in phase is accompanied by change in energy. For example:

$H_2O(s)\rightarrow H_2O(g),\Delta H_{s}=51.1 kJ/mol$
