Given these reactions, where X represents a generic metal or metalloid 1 ) H 2 ( g ) + 1 2 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ H 2 O ( g ) Δ H 1 = − 241

Answer : The enthalpy of the given reaction will be, -1048.6 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.

The main reaction is:

$XCl_4(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow XO_2(s)+4HCl(g)$ $\Delta H=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reactions are:

(1) $H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(g)$ $\Delta H_1=-241.8kJ$

(2) $X(s)+2Cl_2(g)\rightarrow XCl_4(s)$ $\Delta H_2=+461.9kJ$

(3) $\frac{1}{2}H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow HCl(g)$ $\Delta H_3=-92.3kJ$

(4) $X(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow XO_2(s)$ $\Delta H_4=-789.1kJ$

(5) $H_2O(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_5=-44.0kJ$

Now reversing reaction 2, multiplying reaction 3 by 4, reversing reaction 1 and multiplying by 2, reversing reaction 5 and multiplying by 2 and then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) $2H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=2\times 241.8kJ=483.6kJ$

(2) $XCl_4(s)\rightarrow X(s)+2Cl_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-461.9kJ$

(3) $2H_2(g)+2Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4HCl(g)$ $\Delta H_3=4\times -92.3kJ=-369.2kJ$

(4) $X(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow XO_2(s)$ $\Delta H_4=-789.1kJ$

(5) $2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)$ $\Delta H_5=2\times 44.0kJ=88.0kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of main reaction will be:

$\Delta H=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3+\Delta H_4+\Delta H_5$

$\Delta H=(483.6)+(-461.9)+(-369.2)+(-789.1)+(88.0)$

$\Delta H=-1048.6kJ$

Therefore, the enthalpy of the given reaction will be, -1048.6 kJ

You are asked to construct a segment bisector by paper folding. which is the best description your process? a use a ruler to mea

Orlov [11]

The best description of the process to draw the segment is B. b place a compass at one endpoint of the segment and trace an arc. do the same from the other endpoint. draw a line through the intersections of the arcs.

<h3>What is a segment bisector?</h3>

It should be noted that a segment bisector simply means a line to segment which cuts another line segment at the center but dividing the lines into two equal halves.

In this case, based on the information given, the best description of the process to draw the segment is to place a compass at one endpoint of the segment and trace an arc, do the same from the other endpoint. draw a line through the intersections of the arcs.

In conclusion, the correct option is B.
