Is Kl covalent or ionic?

Aluminum chloride can be formed from its elements:

saul85 [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The $\Deltas H^o_{formation}$ for the reaction is -1406.8 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The chemical reaction for the formation reaction of $AlCl_3$ is:

$2Al(s)+3Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3 (s)$ $\Delta H^o_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $HCl(g)\rightarrow HCl(aq.)$ $\Delta H_1=-74.8kJ$ ( × 6)

(2) $H_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2HCl(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-185kJ$ ( × 3)

(3) $AlCl_3(aq.)\rightarrow AlCl_3(s)$ $\Delta H_3=+323kJ$ ( × 2)

(4) $2Al(s)+6HCl(aq.)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3(aq.)+3H_2(g)$ $\Delta H_4=-1049kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $AlCl_3$ is,

$\Delta H^o_{formation}=[6\times \Delta H_1]+[3\times \Delta H_2]+[2\times \Delta H_3]+[1\times \Delta H_4]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{formation}=[(-74.8\times 6)+(-185\times 3)+(323\times 2)+(-1049\times 1)]=-1406.8kJ$

Hence, the $\Deltas H^o_{formation}$ for the reaction is -1406.8 kJ.

Which of the following is a galvanic cell?

sladkih [1.3K]

C. Aluminum (Al) oxidized, zinc (Zn) reduced

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Metals that undergo oxidation and reduction

Required

A galvanic cell

Solution

The condition for voltaic cells is that they can react spontaneously, indicated by a positive cell potential.

$\large {\boxed {\bold {E ^ ocell = E ^ ocatode -E ^ oanode}}}$

or:

E ° cell = E ° reduction-E ° oxidation

For the reaction to occur spontaneously (so that it E cell is positive), the E° anode must be less than the E°cathode

If we look at the voltaic series:

The standard potential value(E°) from left to right in the voltaic series will be greater, so that the metal undergoing an oxidation reaction (acting as an anode) must be located to the left of the reduced metal (as a cathode)

<em />

From the available answer choices, oxidized Al (anode) and reduced Zn (cathode) are voltaic/galvanic cells.

Explain where you would find the three different types of muscles (cardiac, smooth and skeletal) and how these different types o

yawa3891 [41]

Explanation: Skeletal muscle, attached to bones, is responsible for skeletal movements. The peripheral portion of the central nervous system (CNS) controls the skeletal muscles. Thus, these muscles are under conscious, or voluntary, control. The basic unit is the muscle fiber with many nuclei. These muscle fibers are striated (having transverse streaks) and each acts independently of neighboring muscle fibers.
