Answer:

ΔH° = -186.2 kJ

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

(1) Sn(s) + Cl2(g) ⇆ SnCl2(s) ΔH° = -325.1 kJ

(2) Sn(s) + 2Cl2(g) ⇆ SnCl4(l) ΔH° = -511.3 kJ

Step 2: The balanced equation

SnCl2(s) + Cl2(g) ⇆ SnCl4(l)

Step 3: Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction

We have to take the reverse equation of the first reaction ( Because we need SnCl2 as reactant)

SnCl2(s) ⇆ Sn(s) + Cl2(g) ΔH° = 325.1 kJ

Then we add the second equation to this new one

SnCl2(s) ⇆ Sn(s) + Cl2(g) ΔH° = 325.1 kJ

Sn(s) + 2Cl2(g) ⇆ SnCl4(l) ΔH° = -511.3 kJ

SnCl2(s) + Sn(s) + 2Cl2(g) ⇆ Sn(s) + Cl2(g) + SnCl4(l)

SnCl2(s) + Cl2(g) ⇆ SnCl4(l)

ΔH° = 325.1 kJ + (-511.3kJ)

ΔH° = 325.1 kJ - 511.3 kJ

ΔH° = -186.2 kJ

Answer:

ΔH° = -186.2 kJ

Explanation:

Hello,

This case in which the Hess method is applied to compute the required chemical reaction. Thus, we should arrange the given first two reactions as:

(1) it is changed as:

SnCl2(s) --> Sn(s) + Cl2(g)...... ΔH° = 325.1 kJ

That is why the enthalpy of reaction sign is inverted.

(2) remains the same:

Sn(s) + 2Cl2(g) --> SnCl4(l)......ΔH° = -511.3 kJ

Therefore, by adding them, we obtain the requested chemical reaction:

(3) SnCl2(s) + Cl2(g) --> SnCl4(l)

For which the enthalpy change is:

ΔH° = 325.1 kJ - 511.3 kJ

ΔH° = -186.2 kJ

Best regards.

What happens immediately after you dissolve acid in water

emmainna [20.7K]

Explanation:

Weak bases, just like weak acids, dissociate slowly when dissolved with water. An Arrhenius acid is any substance that ionizes when it dissolves in water to give the H+, or hydrogen, ion. An Arrhenius base is any substance that gives the OH-, or hydroxide, ion when it dissolves in water

A reaction that is essentially the opposite of a synthesis reaction describes which of the following?

Afina-wow [57]

Answer is: b) decomposition.

Synthesis is reaction of two or more substances combining to make a more complex substance.

Decomposition is reaction where one substance is broken down into two or more simpler substances.

For example, balanced chemical reactio:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g).

Chemical decomposition is the separation of a single chemical compound (in this example calcium carbonate) into its two or more simpler compounds (in this example calcium oxide and carbon dioxide).

Combustion is reaction with oxygen.

Single Displacement is reaction where neutral element metal or nonmetal become an ion as it replaces another ion in a compound.

Double displacement reactions (more reactive metals displace metals with lower reactivity).

Suggest two reactants to prepare sodium nitrate by titration

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

HNO3 and NaOH

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is a reaction that occurs between an acid and a base to form salt and water only.

Neutralization reactions are commonly carried out by method of titration. That is, a measured volume of acid of unknown concentration is made to react with a known volume of standard base solution or vice versa.

Two reactants that could be titrated to obtain sodium nitrate are nitric acid and sodium hydroxide.

The reaction equation is as follows;

HNO3(aq) + NaOH(aq) ----> NaNO3(aq) + H2O

The movement of molecules across a membrane from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration is best described as:

mestny [16]

Answer:

Difussion

Explanation:

Diffusion is the result of a totally random phenomenon in which the molecules of a fluid come and go between two vessels that can be connected by a pipe. These molecules travel in a single direction, where the solute is more concentrated to where it is more diluted.

This movement of particles will be modified according to the length or area of the pipe and the concentration of solute. The greater the difference in solute concentration along the tube, the greater the diffusion

A sample of n2 occupies 3. 0l at 3. 0atm. What volume will it occupy when the pressure is changed to 0. 5atm and the temperature

belka [17]

It will occupy 18 L volume when the pressure is changed to 0. 5 atm and the temperature remain constant.

Calculation,

According to Boyle law, the pressure of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume at constant temperature.

$P_{1} V _{1} = k$ .....(i)
