A scientist measures the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction to be -17.2 kJ : Ca(OH)2(aq) 2 HCl(aq)CaCl2(s)

elixir [45]

Answer: $\Delta H^{0}=-173.72$ kJ/mol

Explanation: Enthalpy Change is the amount of energy in a reaction - absorption or release - at a constant pressure. So, Standard Enthalpy of Formation is how much energy is necessary to form a substance.

The standard enthalpy of formation of HCl is calculated as:

$\Delta ^{0}=\Sigma H_{products}-\Sigma H_{reactants}$

$Ca(OH)_{2}_{(aq)}+2HCl_{(aq)}$ → $CaCl_{2}_{(s)}+2H_{2}O_{(l)}$

Standard Enthalpy of formation for the other compounds are:

Calcium Hydroxide: $\Delta H^{0}=$ -1002.82 kJ/mol

Calcium chloride: $\Delta H^{0}=$ -795.8 kJ/mol

Water: $\Delta H^{0}=$ -285.83 kJ/mol

Enthalpy is given per mol, which means we have to multiply by the mols in the balanced equation.

Calculating:

$-17.2=[-795.8+2(285.85)]-[-1002.82+2\Delta H]$

$-17.2=-1367.46+1002.82-2\Delta H$

$2\Delta H=17.2-364.64$

$\Delta H=-173.72$

So, the standard enthalpy of formation of HCl is -173.72 kJ/mol

What is another name for energy lost through heat and sound?

Arturiano [62]

Answer:Figure 1. Energy losses in an incandescent light bulb are very large; most of the input energy is lost in the form of heat energy. This means that when energy is converted to a different form, some of the input energy is turned into a highly disordered form of energy, like heat. ...

What is the blocks average speed nearest hundredth of a m/s

bezimeni [28]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A block is pulled 0.90 m to the right in 2.5 s. What is the blocks average speed to the nearest hundredth of a m/s

Answer:

0.36 m/s to the hundredth place

Explanation:

Now let us remember the definition of speed. Speed is defined in physics as distance/time.

Here we have the distance as 0.9 m

We have the time as 2.5 s

Hence the average speed is obtained from;

Speed = 0.9/2.5 = 0.36 m/s to the hundredth place
