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

OH^-+CH_3F\rightarrow CH_3OH+F^-

3) Balance the chemical equation

1 fluoride in the reactants and 1 fluoride in the products

1 carbon in the reactants and 1 carbon in the products

4 hydrogens in the reactants and four hydrogens in the products

1 oxygen in the reactants and 1 oxygen in the products

Since the number of atoms in the reactants is the same that the number of atoms in the products, the chemical equation is balanced.

During an experiment, Jasmine observes light being produced from mixing 2 substances in a beaker. What does this evidence sugges
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: C. A Chemical Change

Explanation:

A chemical change is one that occurs when new substances are produced preceding a chemical reaction ( the  mixing  or combination of one substance  with another).

From the experiment by Jasmine, since light was produced from the mixture,  energy is being released which is due to a  chemical change.

Identify which two compounds below are constitutional isomers
Romashka [77]

Answer:

(CH₃)₃COCH3₃ and (CH₃)₂CHOCH₂CH₃

Explanation:

Isomers are compounds which have the same molecular formula. Constitutional isomers have different connectivity; the atoms are connected in different ways.

1. (CH₃)₃COCH₃

2. (CH₃)₂CHOCH3₃

3. (CH₃)₂CHOCH₂CH₃

Molecules 1 and 3 have the same formula (C₅H₁₂O) and are isomers. Molecule 2 is not an isomer. From the structural formula, it is clear that Molecules 1 and 3 have different connectivity.

4.65 L of nitrogen at standard pressure is compressed into a 0.480 L container. What is the new pressure in kPa?
Semenov [28]
Assuming that nitrogen gas is ideal, we can use the equation PV = nRT to relate first conditions to the second condition. At constant temperature, pressure and volume are indirectly related as follows:

P = k / V

k is equal nRT

P1V1 = P2V2
P2 = 101.325 ( 4.65 ) / .480 = 981.586 kPa
