7 0

Answer: The change in entropy of the lead when 2.0 kg of molten lead at its melting point temperature solidifies is 20 cal/K.

Explanation:

$Pb(l)\rightleftharpoons Pb(s)$

$\Delta S=\frac{q}{T}$

${\text{Change in entropy}}=\frac{heat}{Temperature}$

T is the temperature at which the process is carried out, here the temperature is constant, 327.5°C = $(273+327.5)K=600.5K$ ,because only phase change occurs.

q = heat given in the process = $m\times L_f$

m = mass of lead = 2.0 kg

$L_f$ = latent heat of fusion of lead = 5.9 kcal/kg

$\Delta S=\frac{2kg\times 5.9kcal/kg}{600.5K}$

$\Delta S=0.02 kcal/K=20cal/K$

Thus the change in entropy of the lead when 2.0 kg of molten lead at its melting point temperature solidifies is 20 cal/K.

Aluminum chloride can be formed from its elements:

saul85 [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The $\Deltas H^o_{formation}$ for the reaction is -1406.8 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The chemical reaction for the formation reaction of $AlCl_3$ is:
