Given these reactions, where X represents a generic metal or metalloid 1) H2(g)+12O2(g)⟶H2O(g)ΔH1=−241.8 kJ 1) H2(g)+12O2(g)⟶H2O

Bond [772]

Answer:

ΔH = -793,6 kJ

Explanation:

It is possible to obtain ΔH of this reaction using Hess's law that says you can sum the half-reactions ΔH to obtain the ΔH of the global reaction:

If half-reactions are:

1) H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) ⟶ H₂O(g) ΔH₁ = −241.8 kJ

2) X(s) + 2Cl₂(g) ⟶ XCl₄(s) ΔH₂ = +356.9 kJ

3) ¹/₂H₂(g) + ¹/₂Cl₂(g) ⟶ HCl(g) ΔH₃ = −92.3 kJ

4) X(s) + O₂(g) ⟶ XO₂(s) ΔH₄ = −639.1 kJ

5) H₂O(g) ⟶ H₂O(l) ΔH₅ = −44.0 kJ

The sum of (4) + 4×(3) - (2) - 2×(1) - 2×(5) is:

(4) X(s) + O₂(g) ⟶ XO₂(s) ΔH = −639.1 kJ

+4×(3) 2H₂(g) + 2Cl₂(g) ⟶ 4HCl(g) ΔH = −369,2 kJ

-(2) XCl₄(s) ⟶ X(s) + 2Cl₂(g) ΔH = -356,9 kJ

-2×(1) 2H₂O(g) ⟶ 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) ΔH = +483,6 kJ

-2×(5) 2H₂O(l) ⟶ 2H₂O(g) ΔH = +88.0 kJ

= <em>XCl₄(s) + 2H₂O(l) ⟶ XO₂(s) + 4HCl(g)</em>

Where ΔH is:

ΔH = -639,1 kJ -369,2 kJ -356,9 kJ +483,6 kJ +88,0 kJ

I hope it helps!

Consider the half reactions below for a chemical reaction.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

Option A:

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)

Explanation:

The half reactions given are:

Zn(s) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)

Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s)

From the given half reactions, we can see that in the first one, Zn undergoes oxidation to produce Zn^(2+).

While in the second half reaction, Cu^(2+) is reduced to Cu.

Thus, for the overall reaction, we will add both half reactions to get;

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)

2e^(-) will cancel out to give us;

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)

given that the speed of light is 2.998 x 108 m/s, what is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 3.55 x 10-8 meters

Vesna [10]

Frequency, f = v / λ

f = 2.998 * 10⁸ / 3.55*10⁻⁸

f = 8.445 * 10¹⁵ Hz.
