Considering the Hess's Law, the enthalpy change for the reaction is 221.8 kJ/mol.

Hess's Law indicates that the enthalpy change in a chemical reaction will be the same whether it occurs in a single stage or in several stages. That is, the sum of the ∆H of each stage of the reaction will give us a value equal to the ∆H of the reaction when it occurs in a single stage.

In this case you want to calculate the enthalpy change of:

C₂H₄ (g) + 6 F₂ (g) → 2 CF₄ (g) + 4 HF (g)

which occurs in three stages.

You know the following reactions, with their corresponding enthalpies:

Equation 1: H₂ (g) + F₂ (g) → 2 HF (g) ∆H° = -79.2 kJ/mol

Equation 2: C (s) + 2 F₂ (g) → CF₄ (g) ∆H° = 141.3 kJ/mol

Equation 3: 2 C(s) + 2 H₂ (g) → C₂H₄ (g) ∆H° = -97.6 kJ/mol

Because of the way formation reactions are defined, any chemical reaction can be written as a combination of formation reactions, some going forward and some going back.

<h3 /><h3>FIRST STEP</h3>

First, to obtain the enthalpy of the desired chemical reaction you need one mole of C₂H₄ (g) on reactant side and it is present in first equation. Since this equation has one mole of C₂H₄ (g) on the product side, it is necessary to locate it on the reactant side (invert it).

When an equation is inverted, the sign of ΔH° also changes.

<h3>SECOND STEP</h3>

Now, you need 2 moles of CF₄ (g) on the product side. The second equation has 1 mole of CF₄ (g) on the product side, so it is necessary to multiply it by 2 to obtain 2 moles of CF₄ (g).

Since enthalpy is an extensive property, that is, it depends on the amount of matter present, since the equation is multiply by 2, the variation of enthalpy also.

<h3>THIRD STEP</h3>

Finally, you need 4 moles of HF (g) on the product side. The first equation has 2 moles of HF (g) on the product side, so it is necessary to multiply it by 2 to obtain 4 moles of the compound.

Since the equation is multiply by 2, the variation of enthalpy also is multiplied by 2.

<h3>SUMMARY</h3>

In summary, you know that three equations with their corresponding enthalpies are:

Equation 1: 2 H₂ (g) + 2 F₂ (g) → 4 HF (g) ∆H° = -158.4 kJ/mol

Equation 2: 2 C (s) + 4 F₂ (g) → 2 CF₄ (g) ∆H° = 282.6 kJ/mol

Equation 3: C₂H₄ (g) → 2 C(s) + 2 H₂ (g) ∆H° = 97.6 kJ/mol

Adding or canceling the reactants and products as appropriate, and adding the enthalpies algebraically, you obtain:

C₂H₄ (g) + 6 F₂ (g) → 2 CF₄ (g) + 4 HF (g) ΔH°= 221.8 kJ/mol

Finally, the enthalpy change for the reaction is 221.8 kJ/mol.

Which of the following combination of elements would result in covalent compound? * W X Y Z Vand X Wand Z Y and Z Wand y

TEA [102]

Answer:

C. Y & Z

Explanation:

V, W are imaginary metals here because their valence electrons are typically less than 4. X, Y, Z are non-metals and have higher valence electrons. Here, if V or W bind with X, Y, or Z we make ionic bond (because metal + non metal = ionic). But, if X binds with Y or Z or any combinations of any two of the three non-metals results in covalent bond (non metal + non metal = covalent).

Thus, Y and Z make covalent.

In a laboratory experiment, John uses a mesh to separate soil particles from water. Which technique of separation is he using?

Aneli [31]

Salutations!

<span>In a laboratory experiment, John uses a mesh to separate soil particles from water. Which technique of separation is he using?

The technique that John is using is the filtration technique. Filtration is a technique to separate the solid which is insoluble from the liquid. For instance: Sand and water, sand is insoluble, thus it stays in the filter paper, while the water proceeds through the filter paper.

Hope I helped :D</span>
