Use the following information S(s)+O2(g)→SO2(g), ΔH∘ = -296.8kJ SO2(g)+12O2(g)→SO3(g) , ΔH∘ = -98.9kJ to calculate ΔH∘f for H2SO

4(aq) (in kilojoules per mole). [For H2O(l),ΔH∘f = -285.8kJ/mol].

Answer : The enthalpy of formation of H_2SO_4 is, -812.4 kJ/mole

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.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The formation of H_2SO_4 will be,

S+H_2+2O_2\rightarrow H_2SO_4    \Delta H_{formation}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) S+O_2\rightarrow SO_2     \Delta H_1=-298.2

(2) SO_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow SO_3    \Delta H_2=-98.2

(3) SO_3+H_2O\rightarrow H_2SO_4    \Delta H_3=-130.2

(4) H_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow H_2O    \Delta H_4=-285.8

Now adding all the equations, we get the expression for enthalpy of formation of H_2SO_4 will be,

\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3+\Delta H_4

\Delta H=(-298.2)+(-98.2)+(-130.2)+(-285.8)

\Delta H=-812.4kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of formation of H_2SO_4 is, -812.4 kJ/mole

How many alkali metals will combine with 1 oxygen family member
Daniel [21]
The alkali metals are so reactive that they are never found in nature in elemental form. Although some of their ores are abundant, isolating them from their ores is somewhat difficult. For these reasons, the group 1 elements were unknown until the early 19th century, when Sir Humphry Davy first prepared sodium (Na) and potassium (K) by passing an electric current through molten alkalis. (The ashes produced by the combustion of wood are largely composed of potassium and sodium carbonate.) Lithium (Li) was discovered 10 years later when the Swedish chemist Johan Arfwedson was studying the composition of a new Brazilian mineral. Cesium (Cs) and rubidium (Rb) were not discovered until the 1860s, when Robert Bunsen conducted a systematic search for new elements. Known to chemistry students as the inventor of the Bunsen burner, Bunsen’s spectroscopic studies of ores showed sky blue and deep red emission lines that he attributed to two new elements, Cs and Rb, respectively. Francium (Fr) is found in only trace amounts in nature, so our knowledge of its chemistry is limited. All the isotopes of Fr have very short half-lives, in contrast to the other elements in group 1.

B. What useful functions do oxidation numbers
disa [49]

Explanation:

b. What useful functions do oxidation numbers  serve?

It is used to show oxidation and reduction (loss and gain of electrons)

b. How many molecules are in 1 mole of  molecules?

1 mole = 6.022 * 10^23 molecules

c. What is the name given to the number of  molecules in 1 mole?

Avogadro's Number of molecules

21. a. What is the molar mass of an element?

This is the mass of an element divided by the number of moles.

Molar mass = Mass / Number of moles

b. Write the molar mass rounded to two  decimal places of carbon, neon, iron and  uranium.

amu = Atomic Mass Unit

Carbon = 12.01 amu

Neon = 20.18 amu

Iron = 55.85 amu

Uranium = 238.03 amu
