Answer:
a) ΔH°rxn = -9.2kJ/mol
b) ΔH°rxn = -9.2kJ/mol
Explanation:
Using Hess's law, you can find ΔH of a reaction from ΔH of formation of the substances involved in the reaction, thus:
ΔH°rxn = ∑(BE(reactants)) − ∑(BE(products))
Or:
ΔH°rxn = ∑(nΔH°f (products)) − ∑(mΔH°f (reactants))
For the reaction:
H₂(g) + I₂(g) → 2HI(g)
a) Using the first equation:
ΔH°rxn = ΔH (H-H) + ΔH (I-I) - 2ΔHBE (H-I)
ΔH°rxn = 436.4kJ + 151kJ - 2×298.3kJ
<em>ΔH°rxn = -9.2kJ/mol</em>

b) Using the second equation:
ΔH°rxn = 2Δ°f (HI) − ΔH°f (H₂) - ΔH°f (I₂)
ΔH°rxn = 2×25.9kJ - 0kJ - 61.0kJ
<em>ΔH°rxn = -9.2kJ/mol</em>

The answer is B, Neutron star
Answer:
(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)
(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)
Explanation:
<em>(a) N and F</em>
Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).
<em>(b) Li and Cl</em>
Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).
