Answer:

Incomplete precipitation of barium sulfate

Explanation:

The student has precipitated and digested the barium sulfate on his/her side. But on the addition of $BaCl_2$ in the solution, the solution become cloudy. This happened because incomplete precipitation of barium sulfate by the student. When $BaCl_2$ is added, there are still sulfate ions present in the solution with combines with $BaCl_2$ and forms $BaSO_4$ and the formation of this precipitate makes the solution cloudy.

Answer : The enthalpy of the given reaction will be, -1048.6 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

The main reaction is:

$XCl_4(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow XO_2(s)+4HCl(g)$ $\Delta H=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reactions are:

(1) $H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(g)$ $\Delta H_1=-241.8kJ$

(2) $X(s)+2Cl_2(g)\rightarrow XCl_4(s)$ $\Delta H_2=+461.9kJ$

(3) $\frac{1}{2}H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow HCl(g)$ $\Delta H_3=-92.3kJ$

(4) $X(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow XO_2(s)$ $\Delta H_4=-789.1kJ$

(5) $H_2O(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_5=-44.0kJ$

Now reversing reaction 2, multiplying reaction 3 by 4, reversing reaction 1 and multiplying by 2, reversing reaction 5 and multiplying by 2 and then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) $2H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=2\times 241.8kJ=483.6kJ$

(2) $XCl_4(s)\rightarrow X(s)+2Cl_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-461.9kJ$

(3) $2H_2(g)+2Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4HCl(g)$ $\Delta H_3=4\times -92.3kJ=-369.2kJ$

(4) $X(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow XO_2(s)$ $\Delta H_4=-789.1kJ$

(5) $2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)$ $\Delta H_5=2\times 44.0kJ=88.0kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of main reaction will be:

$\Delta H=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3+\Delta H_4+\Delta H_5$

$\Delta H=(483.6)+(-461.9)+(-369.2)+(-789.1)+(88.0)$

$\Delta H=-1048.6kJ$

Therefore, the enthalpy of the given reaction will be, -1048.6 kJ

What can be said about the spontaneity of this reaction? cdiamond→cgraphite

anastassius [24]

The gibbs free energy of the reaction of diamond to graphite is equal to -2.90 kJ/mol. The free energy is negative which means that the reaction is spontaneous. Therefore, the forward reaction is favored. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
