Answer : The value of \Delta H_{rxn}  for the reaction is, -135.2 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The formation of ClF_3 will be,

ClF(g)+F_2(g)\rightarrow ClF_3(l)    \Delta H_{rxn}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) 2ClF(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow Cl_2O(g)+OF_2(g)     \Delta H_1=167.5kJ

(2) 2F_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2OF_2(g)    \Delta H_2=-43.5kJ

(3) 2ClF_3(l)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow Cl_2O(g)+3OF_2(g)    \Delta H_3=394.4kJ

We are dividing the reaction 1, 2 and 3 and reversing reaction 3 and then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) ClF(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}Cl_2O(g)+\frac{1}{2}OF_2(g)     \Delta H_1=\frac{167.5kJ}{2}=83.75kJ

(2) F_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow OF_2(g)    \Delta H_2=\frac{-43.5kJ}{2}=-21.75kJ

(3) \frac{1}{2}Cl_2O(g)+\frac{3}{2}OF_2(g)\rightarrow ClF_3(l)+O_2(g)    \Delta H_3=\frac{-394.4kJ}{2}=-197.2kJ

The expression for enthalpy of formation of ClF_3 will be,

\Delta H_{rxn}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3

\Delta H_{rxn}=(83.75kJ)+(-21.75kJ)+(-197.2kJ)

\Delta H_{rxn}=-135.2kJ

Therefore, the value of \Delta H_{rxn}  for the reaction is, -135.2 kJ

A 700.0 mL gas sample at STP is compressed to a volume of 200.0 mL, and the temperature is increased to 30.0°C. What is the new
dolphi86 [110]

Answer: The new pressure of the gas in Pa is 388462

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas at STP = 10^5Pa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = ?

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 700.0 ml

V_2 = final volume of gas = 200.0 ml

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 273 K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 30^oC=273+30=303K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{10^5\times 700.0ml}{273K}=\frac{P_2\times 200.0ml}{303K}

P_2=388462Pa

The new pressure of the gas in Pa is 388462

A stable atom that has a large nucleus most likely contains
maria [59]

Answer:

3. Equal numbers of  protons and neutrons

Explanation:

The nucleus becomes unstable if the ratio of protons to neutrons is less than 1:1 or more than 1:1.5.

The most stable nucleus has a neutron proton ratio of 1:1 which means that they can not release a neutron or a proton to decay.

Nucleus 3 is therefore the most stable.
