Answer : Hess's law uses the intermediate reactions to calculate the enthalpy by the law of Constant Heat Summation which states that regardless of the multiple stages occurring in the reaction, the total enthalpy change for the reaction is the sum of all changes.

This law was a manifestation that enthalpy is a state function i.e it is irrespective of the path followed to reach the final state.

The application of Hess’s law, uses the standard heats of formation of the reactants and products to indirectly calculate the heat of reaction (enthalpy) for any reaction that occurs at standard conditions.

An enthalpy change which occurs specifically under standard conditions is called the standard enthalpy of reaction and is given the symbol ΔH°.

The standard heat of reaction can be calculated by using the given equation., i.e.;

ΔH° = Σn ΔH°f(products)−ΣnΔH°f(reactants)

Here, Σ represents “the sum of”

The standard heat of reaction is equal to the sum of all the standard heats of formation of the products subtracted by the sum of all the standard heats of formation of the reactants.

The letter “n” represents that each heat of formation must first be multiplied by its coefficient in the balanced equation.

Answer:

a)\Delta G=372490 J

b)\Delta G=-568614 J

Explanation:

a) The reaction:

Mg(s) +Fe^{2+}(aq) \longrightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq) + Fe(s)

The free-energy expression:

\Delta G=-n*F*E

E=E_{red}-E_{ox]

The element wich is reduced is the Fe and the one that oxidates is the Mg:

-0.44V=E_{red}-(-2.37V)=1.93V

The electrons transfered (n) in this reaction are 2, so:

\Delta G=-2mol*96500 C/mol * 1.93 V

\Delta G=-372490 J

b) If you have values of enthalpy and enthropy you can calculate the free-energy by:

\Delta G=\Delta H - T* \Delta S

with T in Kelvin

\Delta G=-675 kJ*\frac{1000J}{kJ} - 298K*-357 J/K

\Delta G=-568614 J

America is the world’s number one producer of natural gas derived from shale oil. true false
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Correct option:

The statement "America is the world’s number one producer of natural gas derived from shale oil" is True.

Shale gas:

  • Shale, a form of sedimentary rock, is used to make shale gas, which is natural gas.
  • Over the past ten years, shale gas has gained importance as a natural gas source in the United States. Interest has also grown in possible shale gas reserves in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
  • With large production in the US and Canada, North America is the region that produces the most shale gas globally. Only Argentina and China have so far produced shale gas on a commercial basis outside of the US and Canada.
  • The environmental dangers associated with shale gas production like, Induced seismicity from hydraulic fracturing has been known to cause earthquakes in three different places across the world and leaks of extraction waste and chemicals into water systems, the release of greenhouse gases during extraction, and the pollution brought on by the poor processing of natural gas have led to its suspension in numerous nations.
