Question

When HCl(g) reacts with O2(g) to form H2O(g) and Cl2(g), 6.84 kcal of energy are evolved for each mole of HCl(g) that reacts. Write a balanced equation for the reaction with an energy term in kcal as part of the equation. Use the SMALLEST INTEGER coefficients possible and put the energy term in an appropriate box. If a box is not needed, leave it blank.

Answer 1

Answer:

4HCl(g)+O2(g)= 2H2O(g)+2Cl2(g)

∆H=-27.36 kcal

Explanation:

The balanced equation shows that four molecules of HCl reacts with one molecule of Oxygen to give two molecules of water and two molecules of chlorine gas and evolves energy in a combustion reaction.
