This uses something called <span>Le Chatelier's principle. It states essentially that any stress put upon a system will be corrected.
In more simple terms, it means that in an equilibrium, such as the equation N2(g) + 3H2(g) <=> 2NH3(g), removing a reactant will cause the system to create more of said reactant to compensate for its loss, or adding excess reactant will cause the system to remove some of the added reactant. For future reference, the same principle applies to products in an equilibrium as well.
In this case, hydrogen gas is a reactant, and hydrogen is being removed. According to </span><span>Le Chatelier's principle, the system will shift to create more hydrogen gas. In essence, it will shift in the direction of the hydrogen gas, so there will be a shift toward the reactants.
To clear something up, Keq will not change, as it is a constant value with constant conditions (such as temperature, pressure, etc.).</span>
First, we construct the reaction equation:
Na₂SO₃ + 2HCl → 2NaCl + SO₂ + H₂O
H₂SO₃ is formed as an intermediate but decomposes to water and SO₂ gas.
Answer:
-125.4
Explanation:
Target equation is 4C(s) + 5H2(g) = C4H10
These are the data equations for enthalpy of combustion
- C(s) + O2(g) =O2(g) -393.5 kJ/mol * 4
- H2(g) + ½O2(g) =H20(l) = 285.8 kJ/mol * 5
- 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) = 13/2O2 (g) + C4H10 - 2877.1 reverse
To get target equation multiply data equation 1 by 4; multiply equation 2 by 5; and reverse equation 3, so...
Calculate 4(-393.5) + 5(-285.8) + 2877.6 and you should get the answer.
