176.0 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}

As long as the equation in question can be expressed as the sum of the three equations with known enthalpy change, its \Delta H can be determined with the Hess's Law. The key is to find the appropriate coefficient for each of the given equations.

Let the three equations with \Delta H given be denoted as (1), (2), (3), and the last equation (4). Let a, b, and c be letters such that a \times (1) + b \times (2) + c \times (3) = (4). This relationship shall hold for all chemicals involved.

There are three unknowns; it would thus take at least three equations to find their values. Species present on both sides of the equation would cancel out. Thus, let coefficients on the reactant side be positive and those on the product side be negative, such that duplicates would cancel out arithmetically. For instance, 3 + (-1) = 2 shall resemble the number of \text{H}_2 left on the product side when the second equation is directly added to the third. Similarly

  • \text{NH}_4 \text{Cl} \; (s): -2 \; a = 1
  • \text{NH}_3\; (g): -2 \; b = -1
  • \text{HCl} \; (g): 2 \; c = -1

Thus

a = -1/2\\b = 1/2\\c = -1/2 and

-\frac{1}{2} \times (1) + \frac{1}{2} \times (2) - \frac{1}{2} \times (3)= (4)

Verify this conclusion against a fourth species involved- \text{N}_2 \; (g) for instance. Nitrogen isn't present in the net equation. The sum of its coefficient shall, therefore, be zero.

a + b = -1/2 + 1/2 = 0

Apply the Hess's Law based on the coefficients to find the enthalpy change of the last equation.

\Delta H _{(4)} = -\frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(1)} + \frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(2)} - \frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(3)}\\\phantom{\Delta H _{(4)}} = -\frac{1}{2} \times (-628.9)+ \frac{1}{2} \times (-92.2) - \frac{1}{2} \times (184.7) \\\phantom{\Delta H _{(4)}} = 176.0 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}

Vapor pressure can be described as: A) the temperature at which bubbles of vapor appear in a liquid. B) the pressure exerted on
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by the vapors which are present on the surface of a liquid.

For example, vapor pressure of water at room temperature is 0.0313 atm.

On the other hand, the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals atmospheric pressure is known as boiling point.

For example, boiling point of water at room temperature is 100^{o}C.

Thus, we can conclude that vapor pressure can be described as the pressure exerted by a gas above the surface of its liquid.

can someone help me more clearly understand the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous? Give an example of each plz.
const2013 [10]
Heterogenous mixtures are unevenly mixed. Like oil and vinegar in vinaigrette if it is not emulsified well enough and they separate. Any case where two things are not evenly distributed within each other.

Homogenous mixtures are evenly mixed throughout. Like salt water or kool-aid (when it's mixed).

Hope this helps!

It's normal for climates to change naturally over time.
creativ13 [48]

<u>Answer:</u>

Earth's climate has changed naturally over the past 650,000 years, moving in and out of ice ages and warm periods. Changes in climate occur because of alterations in Earth's energy balance, which result from some kind of external factor or "forcing" an environmental factor that influences the climate.
