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.

schepotkina [342]
Every electron carries one elementary negative charge.  Concerning mass,
it takes roughly 1,840 electrons to make enough mass for 1 proton or 1 neutron.
Electrons don't necessarily have to stay connected to an atom, but when they do,
they circle the nucleus.

So you should select (C): ==> Negative, ==> light, ==> circling the nucleus.

A 20.0 g piece of aluminum at 5.00 C is dropped into 20.2 g of water at 90.00 C. The final temperature is 75.00 C. Use the First
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The specific heat of aluminium is 0.906 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Mass of aluminium = 20.0 grams

Temperature = 5.00 °C

Mass of water = 20.2 grams

Temperature of water = 90.00 °C

The final temperature = 75.00 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: calculate the specific heat of aluminium

heat won = heat lost

Qaluminium = -Qwater

Q = m*c* ΔT

m(aluminium * c(aluminium) *ΔT(aluminium = -m(water) * c(water) *ΔT(water)

⇒with m(aluminium) = mass of aluminium = 20.0 grams

⇒with c(aluminium) = the specific heat of aluminium = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with ΔT(aluminium) = the change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 75.00 °C - 5.00 °C = 70.00 °C

⇒with m(water) = the mass of water = 20.2 grams

⇒with c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(water) = T2 - T1 = 75.00°C - 90.00 °C = -15.00 °C

20.0 * c(aluminium) * 70.00 = -20.2 * 4.184 * -15.00

c(aluminium) = 0.906 J/g°C

The specific heat of aluminium is 0.906 J/g°C
