Manganese dioxide (MnO2(s), Hf = –520.0 kJ) reacts with aluminum to form aluminum oxide (AI2O3(s), Hf = –1699.8 kJ/mol) and mang

Temka [501]

Answer : The enthalpy of the reaction = -1839.6 KJ

Solution : Given,

$\Delta (H_{f})_{MnO_{2}}$ = -520.0 KJ/mole

$\Delta (H_{f})_{Al_{2}O_{3}}$ = -1699.8 KJ/mole

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$3MnO_{2}(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 2Al_{2}O_{3}(s)+3Mn(s)$

Formula used :

$\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=\sum n(\Delta H_{f})_{product}-\sum n(\Delta H_{f})_{reactant}$

$\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=(2\times \Delta H_{Al_{2}O_{3}(s)}+3\times \Delta H_{Mn(s)} )-(3\times \Delta H_{MnO_{2}(s) }+4\times\Delta H_{Al}(s))$

We know that the standard enthalpy of formation of the element is equal to Zero.

Therefore, the enthalpy of formation of (Mn) and (Al) is equal to zero.

Now, put all the values in above formula, we get

$\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=[2moles\times (-1699.8 KJ/mole)}+3moles\times (0\text{ KJ/mole}})]-[(3moles\times(-520.0KJ/mole }+4moles\times(0\text{ KJ/mole})]$

= (-3399.6) + (1560)

= -1839.6 KJ

An iron chloride compound contains 55.85 grams of iron and 106.5 grams of chlorine. What is the most likely empirical formula fo

mart [117]

Answer:

$FeCl_{3}$

Explanation:

$Moles =\frac {Given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}$

mass of Fe = 55.85 g

Molar mass of Fe = 55.85 g/mol

<u>Moles of Fe = 55.85 / 55.85 = 1</u>

mass of Cl = 106.5 g

Molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol

Moles of Cl = 106.5 / 35.5 = 3

Taking the simplest ratio for Fe and Cl as:

1 : 3

The empirical formula is = $FeCl_{3}$

At STP, which substance has metallic bonding?

kogti [31]

Silver has metallic bonding.

Silver is a very typical and main metal. The negatively charged electrons distribute themselves throughout the entire piece of metal and form non directional bonds between the positive silver ions, which is metallic bonding, and what silver contributes.
