P4O9 is an oxide of phosphorous

so it will named accordingly

There are four phosphorous atoms and nine oxygen atoms

four will be represented as "tetra"

Nine will represented as "non"

so the name of the compound will be

tetraphosphorous nonoxide

Answer:

one advantage of KLO3 as a primary standard is that it is used to know concentration of a solution.

Explanation:

The reaction provides confirmation that the solution is at a specific concentration. Primary standards are often used to make standard solutions (a solution with a precisely known concentration

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 25 ∘ 25 ∘ C. Standard enthalpy of formation values can be found in th

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: The standard enthalpy change of the reaction is coming out to be -16.3 kJ

Explanation:

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 $\Delta H$

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

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Mg(OH)_2(s)+2HCl(g)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+2H_2O(g)$

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

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(MgCl_2(s))})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(H_2O(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(Mg(OH)_2(s))})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(HCl(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H_f_{(Mg(OH)_2(s))}=-924.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(HCl(g))}=-92.30kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(MgCl_2(s))}=-641.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(H_2O(g))}=-241.8kJ/mol$
