Answer : The correct option is, the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

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.

For example :

The formation reaction of CO will be,

C(graphite)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO(g)    \Delta H_{formation}

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) C(graphite)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)    \Delta H_1

(2) CO+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)    \Delta H_2

The expression for enthalpy of formation of CO is,

\Delta H_{formation}=[n\times \Delta H_1]+[n\times \Delta H_2]

where,

n = number of moles

By adding reaction 1 and reverse reaction of reaction 2, we get the enthalpy of formation of CO.

Hence, the correct option is, the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

How many carbon atoms are there in one molecule of CH3FO?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Brainliest pls

Explanation:

1 mole of a substance contains Avagadro’s number of particles,

i.e. 6.023*10^23

By unitary method,

5 moles of oxygen contains 5 times the Avagadro’s number of particles

i.e. 5* (6.023*10^23) = 3.0115*10^24 number of particles.

Now, the further answer depends on what particles the question concentrates on.

If number of atoms are asked , the above answer must be multiplied by 2, because oxygen is a diatomic gas and each atom contributes to be a particle.

therefore, 5 moles of oxygen has 6.023*10^24 atoms.

If number of molecules asked, the above answer is directly written...
