Answer:
ΔH°rxn = - 433.1 KJ/mol
Explanation:
- CH4(g) + 4Cl2(g) → CCl4(g) + 4HCl(g)
⇒ ΔH°rxn = 4ΔH°HCl(g) + ΔH°CCl4(g) - 4ΔH°Cl2(g) - ΔH°CH4(g)
∴ ΔH°Cl2(g) = 0 KJ/mol.....pure element in its reference state
∴ ΔH°CCl4(g) = - 138.7 KJ/mol
∴ ΔH°HCl(g) = - 92.3 KJ/mol
∴ ΔH°CH4(g) = - 74.8 KJ/mol
⇒ ΔH°rxn = 4(- 92.3 KJ/mol) + (- 138.7 KJ/mol) - 4(0 KJ/mol) - (- 74.8 KJ/mol)
⇒ ΔH°rxn = - 369.2 KJ/mol - 138.7 KJ/mol - 0 KJ/mol + 74.8 KJ/mol
⇒ ΔH°rxn = - 433.1 KJ/mol
