Calculate Delta G for each reaction using Delta Gf values: answer kJ ...thank you

Leni [432]

Answer:

a) $\Delta G=2.6kJ$

b) $\Delta G=-979.57kJ$

c) $\Delta G=264.21kJ$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, in each reaction we must subtract the Gibbs free energy of formation the reactants to the Gibbs free energy of formation of the products considering each species stoichiometric coefficients. In such a way, the Gibbs free energy of formations are:

$\Delta _fG_{H_2}=\Delta _fG_{I_2}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta _fG_{HI}=1.3kJ/mol\\\Delta _fG_{CO_2}=-394.4kJ/mol\\\Delta _fG_{CO}=-137.3 kJ/mol\\\Delta _fG_{NH_3}=16.7 kJ/mol\\\Delta _fG_{HCl}=-95.3kJ/mol\\\Delta _fG_{MnO_2}=465.37kJ/mol\\\Delta _fG_{Mn}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta _fG_{NH_4Cl}=-342.81kJ/mol$

So we proceed as follows:

$\Delta G=2\Delta _fG_{HI}-\Delta _fG_{H_2}-\Delta _fG_{I_2}\\\\\Delta G=2*1.3\\\\\Delta G=2.6kJ$

$\Delta G=\Delta _fG_{Mn}+2*\Delta _fG_{CO_2}-\Delta _fG_{MnO_2}-2*\Delta _fG_{CO}\\\\\Delta G=0+2*-394.4-465.37-2*-137.3\\\\\Delta G=-979.57kJ$

$\Delta G=\Delta _fG_{NH_3}+\Delta _fG_{HCl}-\Delta _fG_{NH_4Cl}\\\\\Delta G=16.7-95.3-(-342.81)\\\\\Delta G=264.21kJ$

Regards.

What is the pH of a 0.083 solution of HCI

quester [9]

Answer:

The pH is 1.08, being an acid pH

Explanation:

pH is a parameter used to measure the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a substance. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Values less than 7 indicate the acidity range and those greater than 7 indicate alkalinity or basicity. Value 7 is considered neutral. Mathematically, pH is the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of hydrogen or proton ions (H⁺) or hydronium ions (H₃O⁺).

pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]

A strong acid is an acid that completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution. This implies that the initial concentration of acid is equal to the final concentration of H₃O⁺. This occurs with acid HCl.

So, pH is calculated as:

pH= - log (0.083)

pH= 1.08

<u><em>The pH is 1.08, being an acid pH</em></u>

What masses of kbr and water are needed to produce 300. g of a solution that is 3.00 % by mass?

attashe74 [19]

In a solution of KBr and water; KBr is the solute and water is the solvent;
Therefore; to achieve 3% by mass; it means we are going to have 3% of the mass being the solute and the other 97 % being the solvent.
Thus; KBr (solute) = 3/100 × 300 (total mass) = 9 g
Hence; the appropriate masses will be; 9.00 g of KBr and 291 g of water.
