Answer:
How much energy would be produced from the reaction of 2.40 moles hydrogen with 3.95 moles chlorine?
Explanation:
Given,
2.40 moles hydrogen reacts with 3.95 moles chlorine.
From the balanced chemical equation,
1mol. of H2 reacts with 1mol. of Cl2
then,
2.40mol. of H2 reacts with ----?mol of Cl2
So, the remaining moles of Cl2 is in excess.
The limiting reagent is--- H2.
1mol. of H2 releases --- 554kJ of energy
then,
2.40mol of H2 releases ---- ?
Answer is: deltaH =-1329.6kJ
The law of conservation of mass states that the mass of a system must remain constant everytime, it can neither be created or destroyed. This means the number of atoms of each element on reactant side must equal the number of atoms of each element on product side.
First we figure out the chemical formula for each compound by taking advantage of oxidation states which are able to tell us whether an element will lose or gain an electron
Strontium hydroxide?
Sr is an alkaline earth metal which has 2 valence electrons that when both are lost it has an oxidation state of +2. Since we know the hydroxide ion has a charge of -1, , Then two
are needed to form compound, hence we have
zirconium (I) perchlorate?
The oxidation state of zirconium is +1 since it is stated that we have zirconium(I). Converserly, perchlorate has a -1 charge which further proves that zirconium has a +1 oxidation state
The product would have a strontium diperchlorate because we know from earlier that Sr has a +2 oxidation state, and we would also have ZrOH because Zr has a +1 oxidation state and has a -1 charge
The unbalanced equation with all chemicals formulas would be
Using the law of conservation of mass, it is clear that there is 1 molecule of on reactant side as compared to 2 molecules of
on product side. On the other hand, the are 2 molecules of
on reactant side and 1 molecule of
on product side. To balance we add a coefficient of 2 on
and a coefficient of 2 on ZrOH,
