If the molar enthalpy for the formation of a compound is –192 kJ, why is the molar enthalpy of the decomposition of that compoun
Olenka [21]
Because the decomposition is the reverse process of the formation.

Enthalpy is a function of state, which means that the value dependes only on the state and not the pathway.


Then the change of enthalpy is the same in magnitude for both cases but in formation the change is netavie (releases energy) and in the other is postive (absorbs energy).

Mkey [24]

Procaine hydrochloride ( = 272.77 g/mol) is used as a local anesthetic. Calculate the molarity of a 4.666 m solution which has a density of 1.1066 g/ml.

molarity = Moles of solute /  volume of solution

          Molarity = m d / [ 1 + (mW / 1000)]

Molarity = 4.666 X 1.1066 / [ 1 + (4.666 X 272.77 / 1000)]

Molarity =  5.16 / 2.272= 2.271 M
