Iron(II) chloride is formed from the reaction between iron and copper(II) chloride. Fe + CuCl2 FeCl2 + Cu If the reactants have
Hf = –256 kJ mol–1 and the products have Hf = –321 kJ mol–1, which reaction pathway graph would have a similar shape to this reaction?
2 answers:
Answer: see figure attached and explanation below.
Explanation:
1) Chemical equation (given):
Fe + CuCl₂ → Cu + FeCl₂
2) ΔHf reactants: -256 kJ/mol (given)
3) ΔHf products: - 321 kJ/mol (given)
4) ΔH reaction = ΔHf products - ΔHf reactants = - 321 kJ/mol - (- 256 kJ/mol) = - 65 kJ/mol
5) Conclusion:
i) Since ΔHf of products is less (more negative) than ΔHf of reactants, the reaction is exhotermic: the reaction released energy, which is the reason why the products content less potential energy than the reactants.
ii) Then, the energy diagram is the typical one of an exothermic reaction: the products start a certain potential energy level, the energy incrases until reaching the activation energy (the energy barrier to form the activated complex) and then energy decreases until a level below the energy of the reactants.
iii) See the attached figure with such kind of diagram showing the products at a lower level than the reactans

Answer: 2.88×atoms
Explanation: First, using stoichiometry, we must convert this from grams to moles, then from moles to atoms.
1. For the first step, we should also look at the periodic table to find the molar mass of the compound, then use that as the denominator.
2. Now that it is converted to moles, we must convert it to atoms by multiplying it by Avogadro's number.
With this information, we know that there are total atoms in 0.680 grams
