Brut [27]
I think the best answer from the choices listed above is option B. The best graduated cylinder for this case is the glass cylinder. A metal cylinder is not possible because you cannot measure really since metals are not transparent. A plastic cylinder cannot also be used since the substance should be heated for the experiment.

erik [133]

Correct Question:

A chemist measures the enthalpy change ΔH during the following reaction: Fe(s) + 2HCl(g)-->FeCl2(s) + H2 ΔH=-157.0 kJ. Use this information to complete the table below. Round each of your answers to the nearest kJ/mol

Answer:

-314 kJ

+628 kJ

+157 kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy change of a reaction measures the amount of heat that is lost or gained by it. If ΔH >0 the heat is gained, and the reaction is called endothermic, if ΔH<0, the heat is lost, and the reaction is called exothermic.

If the reaction is inverted, the value of ΔH is inverted too (the opposite endothermic reaction is exothermic), and if the reaction is multiplied by a constant, ΔH will be multiplied by it too.

1) 2Fe(s) + 4HCl --> 2FeCl2(s) + 2H2(g)

This reaction is the product of the given reaction by 2, so

ΔH = 2*(-157) = -314 kJ

2) 4FeCl2(s) + 4H2(g) --> 4Fe(s) + 8HCl(g)

This reaction is the inverted reaction given multiplied by 4, so

ΔH = 4*(157) = +628 kJ

3) FeCl2(s) + H2(g) --> Fe(s) + 2HCl

This reaction is the inverted reaction given, so

ΔH = +157 kJ
