Answer:

E = 17 kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy of the reaction is:

\Delta H = E_{p} - E_{r}  

<u>Where</u>:

Ep: is the energy of the products

Er: is the energy of the reactants

Similarly, the enthalpy of the reaction is related to the activation energy forward (E_{F}) and to the activation energy reverse (E_{R}) as follows:

\Delta H = E_{F} - E_{R}  

Having that ΔH = 44 kJ and E_{F} = 61 kJ, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is:

E_{R} = E_{F} - \Delta H = 61 kJ - 44 kJ = 17 kJ  

Therefore, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is 17 kJ.

I hope it helps you!

Potassium chlorate (used in fireworks, flares, and safety matches) forms oxygen and potassium chloride when heated. KClO3(s) → K
Zina [86]

Answer:

10.3 g of oxygen are formed when 26.4 g of potassium chlorate is heated

Explanation:

This is the balanced equation:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

Ratio beteween the salt and oxygen is 2:3

Molar mass of KClO₃ = 122.55 g/m

Let's find out the moles of salt

Mass / Molar mass

26.4 g /122.55 g/m = 0.215 moles

So, this is the final rule of three:

If 2 moles of KClO₃ make 3 moles of oxygen

0.215 moles of KClO₃ make  (0.215  .3) /2 = 0.323 moles of O₂ are produced

Molar mass O₂ = 32 g/m

Moles . molar mass = mass

0.323 m  . 32g/m = 10.3 g

Calculate AH for the reaction:<br> 2N2 (g) + 6H20 (g) → 302 (g) + 4NH3(g)
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

4NH₃ (g) + 3O₂ (g) ⇒ 2N₂ (g) + 6H₂ O(1)

ΔH_r={\sum}{ \Delta }H_f(\text{product})-{\sum}{ \Delta }H_f(\text{reactant})

ΔH r =(2ΔH f(N 2 )+6ΔH f (H 2 O(l)))−(4ΔH f​ (NH 3 (g))+3ΔH f (O 2 (g)))

ΔH rex =[2×0+6×(−286)]−[4×(−46)+3×0]=−1716+186

ΔH rex =−1532kJ/mol

Thermodynamics is a branch of physical chemistry that studies heat and its effects and interactions. Governed by the four main laws, thermodynamics plays a huge role in physics and chemistry, and is also responsible for the law of conservation of energy, a fundamental rule in science.
