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>

How many carbon atoms are in 7.05 moles of pyridine
NemiM [27]
First, it is best to know the chemical formula of pyridine which is C5H5N. To determine the number of carbon atoms present in pyridine, multiply 7.05 mol C5H5N with 5 mol C/ 1 mol C5H5N which then results to 35.35 mol of carbon. Then, multiply the answer to Avogadro's number which is 6.022x10^23 atoms. It is then calculated that the number of carbon atoms in 7.05 moles of pyridine is 2.12x10^25 atoms.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Initial rate of the reaction when concentration of hydrogen gas is doubled will be 3.2\times 10^6 M/s.

Explanation:

N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

Initial rate of the reaction = R = 4.0\times 10^5 M/s

R = k\times [N_2][H_2]^3

4.0\times 10^5 M/s=k\times [N_2][H_2]^3

The initial rate of the reaction when concentration of hydrogen gas is doubled : R'

[H_2]'=2[H_2]

R'=k\times [N_2][H_2]'^3=k\times [N_2][2H_2]^3

R'=8\times k\times [N_2][H_2]^3

R'=8\times R=8\times 4\times 10^5 M/s=3.2\times 10^6 M/s

Initial rate of the reaction when concentration of hydrogen gas is doubled will be 3.2\times 10^6 M/s.
