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>

What is the molarity of the potassium hydroxide if 25.25 mL of KOH is required to neutralize 0.500 g of oxalic acid, H2C2O4? H2C
Greeley [361]

Answer:

0.444 mol/L

Explanation:

First step is to find the number of moles of oxalic acid.

n(oxalic acid) = \frac{0.5g}{90.03 g/mol} = 5.5537*10^{-3} mol\\

Now use the molar ratio to find how many moles of NaOH would be required to neutralize 5.5537*10^{-3} mol\\ of oxalic acid.

n(oxalic acid): n(potassium hydroxide)

         1           :            2                  (we get this from the balanced equation)

5.5537*10^{-3} mol\\ : x

x = 0.0111 mol

Now to calculate what concentration of KOH that would be in 25 mL of water:

c = \frac{number of moles}{volume} = \frac{0.0111}{0.025} = 0.444 mol/L

Write the overall, balanced molecular equation and indicate which element is oxidized and which is reduced for the following rea
REY [17]

Explanation:

Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3 (aq)

Overall, balanced molecular equation

Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3(aq) --> Mg(C2H3O2)3(aq) + Cr(s)

To identify if an element has been reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number is observed in both the reactant and product phase.

An increase in oxidation number denotes that the element has been oxidized.

A decrease in oxidation number denotes that the element has been reduced.

Oxidation number of Mg:

Reactant - 0

Product - +3

Oxidation number of Cr:

Reactant - +3

Product - 0

Note: C2H3O2 is actually acetate ion; CH3COO- The oxidatioon number of C, H and O do not change.

Oxidized : Mg

Reduced : Cr
