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>

Find the pH of a 0.100 molar H2C6O6 solution with ka, where KA is equal 8.0×10–5​
lubasha [3.4K]

The pH of the solution is 2.54.

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity of the solution and Ka is the dissociation constant. Dissociation constant is the measure of concentration of hydrogen ion donated to the solution.

The solution of C₆H₂O₆ will get dissociated as C₆HO₆ and H+ ions. So the molar concentration of 0.1 M is present at the initial stage. Lets consider that the concentration of hydrogen ion released as x and the same amount of the base ion will also be released.

So the dissociation constant Kₐ can be written as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants. As the concentration of reactants is given as 0.1 M and the concentration of products is considered as x for both hydrogen and base ion. Then the

K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][HB] }{[reactant]}

[HB] is the concentration of base.

8 * 10^{-5} =\frac{x^{2}  }{0.1}\\\\\\x^{2} = 8 * 10^{-5}*0.1

x^{2} = 0.08 * 10^{-4}\\ \\x = 0.283*10^{-2}

Then

pH = - log [x] = - log [ 0.283 * 10^{-2}]\\ \\pH = 2 + 0.548 = 2.54

So the pH of the solution is 2.54.

The equation that conforms with the particle model is 4C + 6O2 ----> 4CO2 + 2O2.

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

The term chemical reaction has to do with the combination of substances to give products. We know that reactants and products must follow the law of conservation of mass.

Hence, the equation that conforms with the particle model is 4C + 6O2 ----> 4CO2 + 2O2.
