Considering the Hess's Law, the enthalpy change for the reaction is 221.8 kJ/mol.

Hess's Law indicates that the enthalpy change in a chemical reaction will be the same whether it occurs in a single stage or in several stages. That is, the sum of the ∆H of each stage of the reaction will give us a value equal to the ∆H of the reaction when it occurs in a single stage.

In this case you want to calculate the enthalpy change of:

C₂H₄ (g) + 6 F₂ (g) → 2 CF₄ (g) + 4 HF (g)

which occurs in three stages.

You know the following reactions, with their corresponding enthalpies:

Equation 1: H₂ (g) + F₂ (g) → 2 HF (g) ∆H° = -79.2 kJ/mol

Equation 2: C (s) + 2 F₂ (g) → CF₄ (g) ∆H° = 141.3 kJ/mol

Equation 3: 2 C(s) + 2 H₂ (g) → C₂H₄ (g) ∆H° = -97.6 kJ/mol

Because of the way formation reactions are defined, any chemical reaction can be written as a combination of formation reactions, some going forward and some going back.

<h3 /><h3>FIRST STEP</h3>

First, to obtain the enthalpy of the desired chemical reaction you need one mole of C₂H₄ (g) on reactant side and it is present in first equation. Since this equation has one mole of C₂H₄ (g) on the product side, it is necessary to locate it on the reactant side (invert it).

When an equation is inverted, the sign of ΔH° also changes.

<h3>SECOND STEP</h3>

Now, you need 2 moles of CF₄ (g) on the product side. The second equation has 1 mole of CF₄ (g) on the product side, so it is necessary to multiply it by 2 to obtain 2 moles of CF₄ (g).

Since enthalpy is an extensive property, that is, it depends on the amount of matter present, since the equation is multiply by 2, the variation of enthalpy also.

<h3>THIRD STEP</h3>

Finally, you need 4 moles of HF (g) on the product side. The first equation has 2 moles of HF (g) on the product side, so it is necessary to multiply it by 2 to obtain 4 moles of the compound.

Since the equation is multiply by 2, the variation of enthalpy also is multiplied by 2.

<h3>SUMMARY</h3>

In summary, you know that three equations with their corresponding enthalpies are:

Equation 1: 2 H₂ (g) + 2 F₂ (g) → 4 HF (g) ∆H° = -158.4 kJ/mol

Equation 2: 2 C (s) + 4 F₂ (g) → 2 CF₄ (g) ∆H° = 282.6 kJ/mol

Equation 3: C₂H₄ (g) → 2 C(s) + 2 H₂ (g) ∆H° = 97.6 kJ/mol

Adding or canceling the reactants and products as appropriate, and adding the enthalpies algebraically, you obtain:

C₂H₄ (g) + 6 F₂ (g) → 2 CF₄ (g) + 4 HF (g) ΔH°= 221.8 kJ/mol

Finally, the enthalpy change for the reaction is 221.8 kJ/mol.

In a nuclear reaction, the energy released is equal to 8.1 x 1016 joules. Calculate the mass lost in this reaction. (1 J = 1 kg

makvit [3.9K]

Use the formula E=mc^2
energy given=<span>8.1 x 10^16 joules
</span>speed of <span>light = 3.00 × 10^8 m/s
</span>
plug in the values we'll get mass=<span>9.0 x 10-1 kg</span>

How can I differentiate between Ionic compounds, molecular compounds, and acids given only the formula? I need to be able to fin

VikaD [51]

You can differentiate between ionic, covalent and molecular compounds by the fact that ionic compounds contain elements that include both a metal and a nonmetal. Molecular compounds contain both non metals covalently bonded to each other. While acids most often on their chemical formula start with the element of Hydrogen - H.

For Eg - sulphuric acid
H2SO4
hydrochloric acid - HCl.

A neutral atom becomes a positive ion when it

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Neutral atoms can be turned into positively charged ions by removing one or more electrons.

Explanation:

If there is an atom that has 9 protons and 9 electrons, removing an electron from the atom will gain a postive charge.
