Given the balanced equation representing a reaction: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) + H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) Which statement is true about energy in this reaction? A. The reaction is exothermic because it releases heat.
Set a piece of pH paper in front of each solution before testing to keep organized.
Use a transfer pipet to remove a few drops from the solution to drop onto the paper.
Wait a minute or so before reading color.
Is the correct answer...
Fats are referred to as lipids, or cellular compounds that are insoluble in water.
Answer:
ΔH° = -186.2 kJ
Explanation:
Hello,
This case in which the Hess method is applied to compute the required chemical reaction. Thus, we should arrange the given first two reactions as:
(1) it is changed as:
SnCl2(s) --> Sn(s) + Cl2(g)...... ΔH° = 325.1 kJ
That is why the enthalpy of reaction sign is inverted.
(2) remains the same:
Sn(s) + 2Cl2(g) --> SnCl4(l)......ΔH° = -511.3 kJ
Therefore, by adding them, we obtain the requested chemical reaction:
(3) SnCl2(s) + Cl2(g) --> SnCl4(l)
For which the enthalpy change is:
ΔH° = 325.1 kJ - 511.3 kJ
ΔH° = -186.2 kJ
Best regards.
