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

) Calculate the number of moles of sulfuric acid that is contained in 250 mL of 0.500 M sulfuric acid solution
maksim [4K]

Explanation:

According to the analysis, Molarity is amount mole per volume(1L). the amount in mole would be molarity × volume in litres.

0.500M × (250/1000)L= 0.125moles.

What is the area of triangle ABC with vertices A(x¹,y¹), B(x²,y²)and C (x³,y³)??????????<br>​
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Area = \frac{1}{2}|x_1(y_2 - y_3)+x_2(y_3 - y_1)+x_3(y_1 - y_2)|

Area = 2\ units^2

Explanation:

Given

A = (x_1,y_1)

B = (x_2,y_2)

C = (x_3,y_3)

Required

Determine the area

The area of a triangle is :

Area = \frac{1}{2}|A_x(B_y - C_y) + B_x(C_y - A_y) + C_x(A_y - B_y)|

By substituting values for the x and y coordinates of A, B and C;

We have:

Area = \frac{1}{2}|x_1(y_2 - y_3)+x_2(y_3 - y_1)+x_3(y_1 - y_2)|

So:

For instance

A = (0,3)

B= (2,1)

C = (2,3)

The area is:

Area = \frac{1}{2}|0(1-3) + 2(3-3) + 2(3-1)|

Area = \frac{1}{2}| 2*0 + 2*2|

Area = \frac{1}{2}| 0 + 4|

Area = \frac{1}{2}|4|

Area = \frac{1}{2} * 4

Area = 2\ units^2

Select the correct answer. When an atom in a reactant loses electrons, what happens to its oxidation number? A. Its oxidation nu
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

C. Its oxidation number increases.

Explanation:

  • <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
  • Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
  • When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
  • For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>
