The reaction between hydrogen gas and chlorine gas produces hydrogen chloride according to the following equation: H2(g) + Cl2(g

) → 2HCl(g). Using the following bond enthalpies(D) calculate the enthalpy of reaction. D(H-H) =436 kJ/mol; D(Cl-Cl) = 243 kJ/mol D(H-Cl) = 432 kJ/mol

Answer:

The enthalpy of reaction is -185 kJ

Explanation:

To get the reaction:

 H₂(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2 HCl(g)

you must follow the following steps:

<em>1)  Reactive molecules must break their bonds to obtain their atoms.</em>

H₂(g) → 2 H(g)

Cl₂(g) → 2 Cl(g)

Bond energy (or enthalpy) is the energy required to break one mole of bonds of a gaseous substance. In the case of diatomic molecules with a single bond, it corresponds to the energy necessary to dissociate 1 mole of said substance in the atoms that form it.

Whenever you want to break links you must supply energy, so the link enthalpy will have positive values; while when a mole of bonds is formed energy is released and the bond enthalpy of this process will be negative.

In this case you will then have:

H₂(g) → 2 H(g)           ΔH=436 kJ/mol

Cl₂(g) → 2 Cl(g)         ΔH=243 kJ/mol

So the total energy needed to break all the bonds is:

ΔH=1 mol*436 kJ/mol +1 mol* 243 kJ/mol= 679 kJ

2) The atoms that were obtained in the break of the bonds must be combined to obtain the product.

2 H (g) + 2 Cl (g) → 2 HCl (g)

Being the single bond energy for one mole of 431 kJ H-Cl bonds and considering that two moles of H-Cl bonds are formed, the ΔH is:

ΔH = -2 moles* (432 kJ/mol) = -864 kJ

As mentioned, when a mole of bonds is formed energy is released, the bond enthalpy of this process will be negative.  So the formation of HCl is negative.

Hess's law states that the energy change in an overall chemical reaction is equal to the sum of the energy changes in the individual reactions comprising it. So:

ΔHtotal= -864 kJ + 679 kJ

ΔHtotal= -185 kJ

<u><em>The enthalpy of reaction is -185 kJ</em></u>

Aluminum metal and manganese (IV) oxide react to produce aluminum oxide and manganese metal. What mass of manganese (IV) oxide r
gayaneshka [121]

Answer: 1.77 kg of manganese (IV) oxide reacts to produce 1.12kg of manganese metal.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

4Al+3MnO_2\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3+3Mn

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of manganese = \frac{1.12\times 1000g}{55g/mol}=20.4mol

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of Mn is produced by = 3 moles of MnO_2

Thus 20.4 moles of Mn is produced by =\frac{3}{3}\times 20.4=20.4moles  of MnO_2

Mass of MnO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=20.4moles\times 86.9g/mol=1773g=1.773kg    (1kg=1000g)

Thus 1.77 kg of manganese (IV) oxide reacts to produce 1.12kg of manganese metal.

Complexes containing metals with d10 electron configurations are typically colorless because ________. Complexes containing meta
algol [13]

Answer:

there is no d electron that can be promoted via the absorption of visible light

Explanation:

One of the properties of transition elements is the possession of incompletely filled d orbitals. This property accounts for their unique colours.

The colours of transition metal compounds stem from d-d transition of electrons due to the presence of vacant d orbitals of appropriate energy to which electrons could be promoted.

For elements whose atoms have a d10 configuration, such vacant orbitals does not exist hence their compounds are not colored.

Sometimes, the colour of transition metal compounds stem from ligand to metal charge transfer(LMCT) for instance in KMnO4.
