The answer is -60.57 = -60.6 KJ.
CaC2(s) + 2 H2O(l) ---> Ca(OH)2(s) +C2H2(g) H= -127.2 KJ
Hf C2H2 = 226.77
Hf Ca(OH)2 = -986.2
<span>Hf H2O = -285.83
Now,

</span><span>add them up. 226.77 - 986.2 + (2*285.83) = -187.77 
</span><span>Add back the total enthalpy that is given in the question
 -187.77+127.2 = -60.57 </span>

<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy of the formation of CaC_2(s) is coming out to be -59.89 kJ/mol.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as \Delta H^o

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(reactant)}]

For the given chemical reaction:

CaC_2(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2(s)+C_2H_2(g);\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-127.2kJ

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(C_2H_2(g))})+(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(Ca(OH)_2(s))})]-[(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(l))})+(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CaC_2(s))})]

We are given:

\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(l))}=-285.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(Ca(OH)_2(s))}=-986.09kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(C_2H_2(g))}=227.4kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-127.2kJ

Putting values in above equation, we get:

-127.2=[(1\times (227.4)})+(1\times (-986.09))]-[(2\times (-285.8))+(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CaC_2(s))})]\\\\\Delta H^o_f_{(CaC_2(s))}=-59.89kJ/mol

Hence, the enthalpy of the formation of CaC_2(s) is coming out to be -59.89 kJ/mol.

Calculate the [oh−] in a solution with a ph of 12.52.
BaLLatris [955]
PH + pOH = 14

12.52 + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 12.52

pOH = 1.48

[OH⁻] = 10^ -pOH

[OH⁻] = 10 ^- 1.48

[OH⁻] = 0.033 M

Can someone help with this please?
Aleks04 [339]
I think the answer would be yes. if my math is correct 84,596 divided by 29 equals 2,917 sickles. 2,917 sickles is equal to 172 galleon. therefore he would have enough to buy the 70 galleon broomstick. hopefully i did this right and it helped!
