Answer:

Separate the reaction into half equations

Explanation:

When we want to balance redox equations, we must take cognizance of the fact that a specie was oxidized and another specie was reduced.

Hence we must identify the specie that was oxidized and the one that was reduced and then break up the whole redox reaction into oxidation and reduction half equations.

Dissolution of KOH, ΔHsoln:

swat32

Using Hess's law we found:

1) By adding reaction 10.2 with the reverse of reaction 10.1 we get reaction 10.3:

KOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H₂O(l) + KCl(aq) ΔH (10.3)

2) The ΔHsoln must be subtracted from ΔHneut to get the total change in enthalpy (ΔH).

The reactions of dissolution (10.1) and neutralization (10.2) are:

KOH(s) → KOH(aq) ΔHsoln (10.1)

KOH(s) + HCl(aq) → H₂O(l) + KCl(aq) ΔHneut (10.2)

1) According to Hess's law, the total change in enthalpy of a reaction resulting from differents changes in various reactions can be calculated as the sum of all the enthalpies of all those reactions.

Hence, to get reaction 10.3:

KOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H₂O(l) + KCl(aq) (10.3)

We need to add reaction 10.2 to the reverse of reaction 10.1

KOH(s) + HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → H₂O(l) + KCl(aq) + KOH(s)

Canceling the KOH(s) from both sides, we get reaction 10.3:

KOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H₂O(l) + KCl(aq) (10.3)

2) The change in enthalpy for reaction 10.3 can be calculated as the sum of the enthalpies ΔHsoln and ΔHneut:

$\Delta H = \Delta H_{soln} + \Delta H_{neut}$

The enthalpy of reaction 10.1 (ΔHsoln) changed its sign when we reversed reaction 10.1, so:

$\Delta H = \Delta H_{neut} - \Delta H_{soln}$

Therefore, the ΔHsoln must be subtracted from ΔHneut to get the total change in enthalpy ΔH.

Earth’s inner core:_____ as Earth’s outer core:liquid

KatRina [158]

Answer:However, unlike the outer core, the inner core is not liquid or even molten. The inner core's intense pressure—the entire rest of the planet and its atmosphere—prevents the iron from melting. The pressure and density are simply too great for the iron atoms to move into a liquid state.
