Answer:
–4020 KJ
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
H₂(g) + F₂(g) —> 2HF(g) ΔH = –536 KJ
Next, we shall determine the mass of H₂ that reacted from the balanced equation to produce –536 KJ of heat energy. This can be obtained as follow:
Molar mass of H₂ = 2 × 1 = 2 g/mol
Mass of H₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 2 = 2 g.
Summary:
From the balanced equation above,
2 g of H₂ reacted to produce –536 KJ of heat energy.
Finally, we shall determine the heat change produced by the reaction of 15 g of H₂. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
2 g of H₂ reacted to produce –536 KJ of heat energy.
Therefore, 15 g of H₂ will react to produce = (15 × –536)/2 = –4020 KJ of heat energy.
Thus, the heat change for the reaction is –4020 KJ
