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

Which of the following characteristics must be present for a substance to be called a mineral?

MArishka [77]

Minerals are solid, naturally occurring, inorganic compounds that possess an orderly internal structure and a regular chemical composition. Minerals should occur naturally. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Which best describes the field of chemistry?

qaws [65]

Answer:

Fundamentally, chemistry is the study of matter and change. The way that chemists study matter and change and the types of systems that are studied varies dramatically. Traditionally, chemistry has been broken into five main subdisciplines: Organic, Analytical, Physical, Inorganic, and Biochemistry.

hope this helps :)
