Calculate the enthalpy of the reaction

Chemistry
1 answer:
harkovskaia [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer : The enthalpy of the reaction is, -2552 kJ/mole

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 enthalpy of reaction is,

4B(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2B_2O_3(s)    \Delta H=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reactions are:

(1) B_2O_3(s)+3H_2O(g)\rightarrow 3O_2(g)+B_2H_6(g)     \Delta H_A=+2035kJ

(2) 2B(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow B_2H_6(g)    \Delta H_B=+36kJ

(3) H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)    \Delta H_C=-285kJ

(4) H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2O(g)    \Delta H_D=+44kJ

Now we have to revere the reactions 1 and multiple by 2, revere the reactions 3, 4 and multiple by 2 and multiply the reaction 2 by 2 and then adding all the equations, we get :

(when we are reversing the reaction then the sign of the enthalpy change will be change.)

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction will be,

\Delta H=-2\times \Delta H_A+2\times \Delta H_B-6\times \Delta H_C-6\times \Delta H_D

\Delta H=-2(+2035kJ)+2(+36kJ)-6(-285kJ)-6(+44)

\Delta H=-2552kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy of the reaction is, -2552 kJ/mole

In this thermochemical reaction, what does the coefficient ½ represent?
timurjin [86]
A thermochemical reaction is a chemical reaction with an additional information of the heat of reaction. For example, this is the thermochemical reaction for the combustion of hydrogen gas:

H₂ (g) + 1/2 O₂ (g) → H₂O (l)         ΔH = -285.8 kJ

The coefficient 1/2 represents the number of moles of O₂ needed to combust 1 mole of H₂ gas in order to yield one mole of water.

All p block elements form ions.<br> True or False
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

No this statement is false.

Explanation:

when an atom lose or gain the electron ions are formed. If the atom lose an electron the positive ions are formed called cations while anion is formed by the gaining of electron by an atom The elements having less electrons in valance shell usually lose their electrons while the elements like halogens having 7 valance electrons gain an electron to complete the octet. while p block elements noble gases are inert, their outer most valance shell is complete so they do not form ions.

P block elements are non-metals, metals and metalloids. These are thirty five elements. The P-block elements are present on right side of periodic table. There valance electrons are present in P orbital. The p-block metals are shiny and good conductor of heat and electricity. These metal lose the electron which is accept by non metals and form ionic bond. They have high melting points.

Metalloids includes boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium. Metalloids contain both the properties of metals and non metals, Some metalloids are toxic like arsenic.

Most of p-block elements are non metals. They are bad conductor of heat and electricity and have low boiling points. The non metals mostly accept the electron from the metals and usually from ionic bond like in case of chlorine. It form the ionic compound with sodium.

The sodium chloride which is an ionic compound, formed by the complete transfer of electron from sodium to chlorine atom and form ionic bond. In this ionic compound sodium carry positive charge and chlorine carry negative charge there is attraction between these oppositely charged atoms.

Are you friend with Nitrogen and Oxygen
Oduvanchick [21]

Nitrogen and oxygen do not react at ambient temperature. At high temperatures they have endothermic reactions and produces various oxides of nitrogen.

Explanation:

The difference between nitrogen and oxygen is the nitrogen has seven protons and seven electrons surrounding the nucleus. Whereas the oxygen has eight protons and electrons.

The atoms combines with one another to form molecules. The nitrogen is a inert, colorless gas with no smell or taste, its harmless to human beings.

The oxygen and nitrogen are abundant gases in the atmosphere and have similar physical properties. The oxygen (O2) is twice as soluble in water as nitrogen (N2).
