That statement is true
it was easy to organize 'all' the elements in a group of threes because back then they only knew about 15 - 20 elements
hope this helps
Kinetic energy due to the movement
Answer : The enthalpy of the reaction = -1839.6 KJ
Solution : Given,
= -520.0 KJ/mole
= -1699.8 KJ/mole
The balanced chemical reaction is,

Formula used :


We know that the standard enthalpy of formation of the element is equal to Zero.
Therefore, the enthalpy of formation of (Mn) and (Al) is equal to zero.
Now, put all the values in above formula, we get
![\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=[2moles\times (-1699.8 KJ/mole)}+3moles\times (0\text{ KJ/mole}})]-[(3moles\times(-520.0KJ/mole }+4moles\times(0\text{ KJ/mole})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20%28H_%7Bf%7D%29_%7Breaction%7D%3D%5B2moles%5Ctimes%20%28-1699.8%20KJ%2Fmole%29%7D%2B3moles%5Ctimes%20%280%5Ctext%7B%20KJ%2Fmole%7D%7D%29%5D-%5B%283moles%5Ctimes%28-520.0KJ%2Fmole%20%7D%2B4moles%5Ctimes%280%5Ctext%7B%20KJ%2Fmole%7D%29%5D)
= (-3399.6) + (1560)
= -1839.6 KJ
