The oxidation number of I (iodine) decreases the in the described chemical reaction from 0 to -1.

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

I₂ + 2 KCl → KI + Cl₂

The following atoms have a change in the oxidation number:

I with a 0 oxidation number (in I₂) goes to I with -1 oxidation number (in KI) by receiving 1 electron.

Cl with a -1 oxidation number (in KCl) goes to I with 0 oxidation number (in Cl₂) by losing 1 electron.

How much energy must be removed from a 94.4 g sample of benzene (molar mass= 78.11 g/mol) at 322.0 K to solidify the sample and

Kay [80]

Answer : The energy removed must be, 29.4 kJ

Explanation :

The process involved in this problem are :

$(1):C_6H_6(l)(322K)\rightarrow C_6H_6(l)(279K)\\\\(2):C_6H_6(l)(279K)\rightarrow C_6H_6(s)(279K)\\\\(3):C_6H_6(s)(279K)\rightarrow C_6H_6(s)(205K)$

The expression used will be:

$Q=[m\times c_{p,l}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]+[m\times \Delta H_{fusion}]+[m\times c_{p,s}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]$

where,

$Q$ = heat released for the reaction = ?

m = mass of benzene = 94.4 g

$c_{p,s}$ = specific heat of solid benzene = $1.51J/g^oC=1.51J/g.K$

$c_{p,l}$ = specific heat of liquid benzene = $1.73J/g^oC=1.73J/g.K$

$\Delta H_{fusion}$ = enthalpy change for fusion = $-9.8kJ/mol=-\frac{9.8\times 1000J/mol}{78g/mol}=-125.6J/g$

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

$Q=[94.4g\times 1.73J/g.K\times (279-322)K]+[94.4g\times -125.6J/g]+[94.4g\times 1.51J/g.K\times (205-279)K]$

$Q=-29427.312J=-29.4kJ$

Negative sign indicates that the heat is removed from the system.

Therefore, the energy removed must be, 29.4 kJ
