Answer:

CH₂

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Percentage composition:

Carbon = 40.1%

Hydrogen = 6.6%

Unknown:

Empirical formula of the compound = ?

Solution:

The empirical formula of a substance is its simplest formula.

Elements Carbon Hydrogen

Percentage

Composition 40.1 6.6

Molecular mass 12 1

Number of moles 40.1/12 6.6/1

3.342 6.6

Divide through by

the smallest 3.342/3.342 6.6/3.342

1 2

So the empirical formula of the compound is CH₂

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 25 ∘ 25 ∘ C. Standard enthalpy of formation values can be found in th

WINSTONCH [101]

<u>Answer:</u> The standard enthalpy change of the reaction is coming out to be -16.3 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as $\Delta H$

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Mg(OH)_2(s)+2HCl(g)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+2H_2O(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(MgCl_2(s))})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(H_2O(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(Mg(OH)_2(s))})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(HCl(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H_f_{(Mg(OH)_2(s))}=-924.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(HCl(g))}=-92.30kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(MgCl_2(s))}=-641.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(H_2O(g))}=-241.8kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times (-641.8))+(2\times (-241.8))]-[(1\times (-924.5))+(2\times (-92.30))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-16.3kJ$

Hence, the standard enthalpy change of the reaction is coming out to be -16.3 kJ
