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

Question 3 (Molarity)
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The molarity of the solution is 1,03 M.

Explanation:

Molarity is a concentration measure that expresses the moles of solute (in this case HBR) in 1 liter of solution (1000ml). First we calculate the mass of 1 mol of HBr, to calculate the moles that are in 50 g of said compound:

Weight 1 mol HBr= Weight H + Weight Br= 1,01g + 79,90g= 80, 91 g/mol

80,91 g ----1 mol HBr

50,0 g------x= (50,0 g x1 mol HBr)/80,91 g= 0,62 mol HBr

600 ml solution-----0,62 mol HBr

1000ml solution------x= (1000ml solution x 0,62 mol HBr)/600 ml solution

<em>x=1,03 moles HBr ---> The solution is 1,03M</em>

Which of the following is NOT an example of potential energy?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

A. car moving down the highway

Explanation:

Potential energy is when the energy is being held in, as in, it is very still, and not moving.

When a car is moving down a highway, it is releasing kinetic energy, instead of potential.

A barometer measures the pressure of the atmosphere at different altitudes. Identify the location where the column of mercury is
Ghella [55]
The location where the mercury level of the barometer would be the lowest is at the very high altitudes of the Earth's atmosphere (about 100 km), since air pressure decreases as altitude increases.
