Answer : The enthalpy change of reaction is 206.9 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

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

The given final reaction is,

Hg_2Br_2(s)\rightarrow 2Hg(l)+Br_2(l)    \Delta H=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) Hg(l)+Br_2(l)\rightarrow HgBr_2(s)    \Delta H^o_1=-170.7kJ

(2) Hg(l)+HgBr_2(s)\rightarrow Hg_2Br_2(s)    \Delta H^o_2=-36.2kJ

First we will reverse the reaction 1 and 2 then adding both the equation, we get :

(1) HgBr_2(s)\rightarrow Hg(l)+Br_2(l)    \Delta H^o_1=+170.7kJ

(2) Hg_2Br_2(s)\rightarrow Hg(l)+HgBr_2(s)    \Delta H^o_2=+36.2kJ

The expression for final enthalpy is,

\Delta H=\Delta H^o_1+\Delta H^o_2

\Delta H=(+170.7kJ)+(+36.2kJ)

\Delta H=206.9kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy change of reaction is 206.9 kJ

<u>Answer:</u> \Delta H^o_3 is 206.3 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

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

Hg(l)+Br_2(l)\rightarrow HgBr_2(s)    \Delta H^o_1=-170.7kJ   ......(1)

Hg(l)+HgBr2(s)\rightarrow Hg_2Br_2 \Delta H^o_2=-36.2kJ  .......(2)

The final reaction is:  

HgBr_2(s)\rightarrow 2Hg(l)+Br_2(l)  \Delta H^o_3=?   ......(3)

By reversing both the equations and then adding them, we get:

\Delta H^o_3=-\Delta H^o_1+(-\Delta H^o_2)=-(-170.7)+[-(-36.2kJ)]=206.3kJ

Hence, \Delta H^o_3 is 206.3 kJ.

These substances are all ____. H2O2 Li NaCl O2
Bogdan [553]

Answer: pure substances.


Explanation:


The given substances are:

  • H₂O₂
  • Li
  • NaCl
  • O₂

All what surrounds us, which has mass and occupies spaces, is matter. There are two kind of matter: pure substances and mixtures.


Pure substances have a uniform and constant composition. On the other hand, mixtures are combinations of two or more pure substances in  any arbitratry ratio.


Pure substances may be elements or compounds. The elements are the substances conmposed by one only kind of atom. In the list of substances given, Li and O₂ are elements: all the atoms in Li are lithium, and all the atoms in O₂ are oxygen atoms.


Compounds are the chemical combination of two or more different kind of atoms. In the given list H₂O₂ and NaCl are compounds. As you see, H₂O₂ contains atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, chemically bonded, in a fixed ratio (2 atoms of hydrogen by 2 atoms of oxygen). And NaCl has atoms of Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine), chemicaly bonded, in a fixed ratio (1:1).


There are only 118 known elements and you can find them in any modern periodic table. Therer are virtually infinitely many compounds since many different combinations of the elements can be attained.


Elements and compounds have in common that they are classified as pure substances.

HELP 20 POINTS <br>A photon has a wavelength of 366 nm. What is the frequency of this photon?​
den301095 [7]

Answer:

9.  8.2x10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

Wavelength λ = 366 nm

Formula: Frequency = C / λ

To find the wavelength in m,

1 nm = 1.0x10⁻⁹ m

So, 366 nm = ?

= 3.66x10⁻⁷ m

Frequency = 3.0x10⁸m.s-1 / 3.66x10⁻⁷ m

                  = 8.2x10¹⁴ s-1

What is the volume of a 5M solution with that has 16.5 moles?
kenny6666 [7]
Molarity can be used to calculate the volume of solvent or the amount of solute. The relationship between two solutions with the same amount of moles of solute can be represented by the formula c1V1 = c2V2, where c is concentration and V is volume.

Which is something that a PURE SUBSTANCE and a SOLUTION have in common?
zhuklara [117]

D) They both look uniform (the same) throughout.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Pure substance can be any element or compound and is formed from one type of atom/molecule only

Meanwhile, the solution is included in a mixture consisting of 2 or more pure substance

Pure substance can be formed through a chemical process while the mixture is through a physical process

Mixture can be separated by physical processes into components of pure substance while pure substance cannot

The mixture itself consists of a homogeneous and heterogeneous solution

The mixture can be divided into a homogeneous mixture if the composition/ratio of each substance in the mixture is the same and a heterogeneous mixture if the ratio of the composition of the substances is not the same (can be varied) in each place.

Mixtures can also be divided into solutions, suspensions, and colloids based mainly on the size of the particles

Homogeneous mixture = Solution

Heterogeneous mixture = suspension, and

The mixture is located between suspension and solution = Colloid
