ΔH° = -851.5 kJ/mol given that

\begin{array}{cc}\textbf{Species}&{\bf {\Delta H_f\textdegree{}}}\\ \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3\;(s) & -824.2\;\text{kJ}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}\\\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3\;(s) & -1675.7\;\text{kJ}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}\end{array}

(Source: Chemistry Libretexts.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Refer to a thermodynamic data table for the standard enthalpy of formation for each species.

Don't be alerted if the data for Al (s) and Fe (s) are missing. Why?

  • The standard enthalpy of formation of a substance measures the ΔH required to form each mole of it from the most stable allotrope of its elements under STP.
  • Both Al (s) and Fe (s) are already the most stable form of their element under STP (note that the state symbol matters.) There's no need to form them again.

As a result, \Delta H_f\textdegree{} = 0 for both Al (s) and Fe (s).

\displaystyle \Delta H_{\text{rxn}}\textdegree{} = \text{Sum of }\Delta H\text{ for all }\textbf{Product} - \text{Sum of }\Delta H\text{ for all }\textbf{Reactant}}\\\phantom{\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}\textdegree{}} = (1\times \Delta H_f\textdegree{}(\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3\;(s)) + 1\times \Delta H_f\textdegree{}(\text{Al}\;(s)) \\ \phantom{\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}\textdegree{}=}-(1\times \Delta H_f\textdegree{}(\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3\;(s)) + 1\times\Delta H_f\textdegree{}(\text{Fe}\;(s))

\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}\textdegree{}} = (1 \times (-1675.7)) - (1\times(-824.2)) = -851.5\;\text{kJ}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

The number "1" here emphasizes that in case there are more than one mole of any species in one mole of the reaction, it will be necessary to multiply the \Delta H_f\textdegree{} of that species with its coefficient in the equation.

Rudiy27

Explanation:

For the given reaction:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

CO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)

Rate=k[CO]^x[H_2]^y

where x and y are order wrt to CO and H_2

According to collision theory , the molecules must collide for a reaction to take place. According to collision theory , the rate of a reaction is proportional to rate of collision of reactants.

Thus with an increase in concentration of reactants , the rate of reaction also increases. This is because if the concentration of reactants increases , the chances of collision between molecules also increases and thus more products wil be formed which in turn increases the rate of reaction.

What are the limitations of litmus paper and Phenolphthalein indicators? Name to other indicators that can be used that do not h
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Here's what I find.

Explanation:

An indicator is usually is a weak acid in which the acid and base forms have different colours. Most indicators change colour over a narrow pH range.

(a) Litmus

Litmus is red in acid (< pH 5) and blue in base (> pH 8).

This is a rather wide pH range, so litmus is not much good in titrations.

However, the range is which it changes colour includes pH 7 (neutral), so it is good for distinguishing between acids and bases.

(b) Phenolphthalein

Phenolphthalein  is colourless in acid (< pH 8.3) and red in base (> pH 10).

This is a narrow pH range, so phenolphthalein is good for titrating acids with strong bases..

However, it can't distinguish between acids and weakly basic solutions.

It would be colourless in a strongly acid solution with pH =1 and in a basic solution with pH = 8.

(c) Other indicators  

Other acid-base indicators have the general limitations as phenolphthalein. Most of them have a small pH range, so they are useful in acid-base titrations.

The only one that could serve as a general acid-base indicator is bromothymol blue, which has a pH range of 6.0 to 7.6.

For each pair of salts, determine which of the salts, if any, would be expected to be more soluble in acidic solution than in pu
gogolik [260]

Answer:

AgNO2

Explanation:

The question asks to know which of these two insoluble salts is expected to be more soluble in acidic solution than in pure water.

To answer this question specifically, we need to know if the anions contained in the insoluble salt is a conjugate of a weak acid or that of a weak base.

Generally, the solubility of insoluble salts that contain anions which are conjugates of weak acids increases in the presence of an acidic solution than in water. While, the solubility of insoluble salts that contain anions which are conjugates of strong acids decreases in the presence of an acidic solution.

Having said this, AgNO2 contains NO2 which is the conjugate base of the Trioxonitrate iii acid which is a weak acid. Hence, it is expected to be stronger in acidic solution than in water.
