When 2 moles of Fe(s) react with Cl2(g) to form FeCl3(s) according to the following equation, 799 kJ of energy are evolved.
1 answer:
Answer:
1. Exothermic.
2. -1598 kJ.
Explanation:
Hello!
1. In this case, according to the reaction, we can infer that 799 kJ of energy are evolved (given off, released) it means that the enthalpy of reaction is negative as the reactants have more energy than the products; which means this is an exothermic reaction.
2. Here, as we know that the enthalpy of reaction is -799 kJ/mol, we can compute the q-value as shown below, considering the reacted 2 moles of solid iron:
Which means that 1598 kJ of energy are evolved when 2 moles of solid iron react.
Best regards!

Suppose we have 100 gr of the substance. Then by weight, it would contain 44.77 gr of C, 7.46 gr of H and 47.76 gr of S. We need to look up the atomic weights of these atoms; M_H=1, M_C=12, M_S=32. The following formula holds (where n are the moles of the substance, M its molecular mass and m its mass): n=m/M. Substituting the known quantities for each element, we get that the substance has 3.73 moles of C, 7.46 moles of H and 1.49 moles of S. In the empirical formula for the molecule, all atoms appear an integer amout of times. Hence, for every mole of Sulfur, we have 2.5 moles of C and 5 moles of H (by taking the moles ratios). Thus, for every 2 moles of sulfur, we have 5 moles of C and 10 moles of H. Now that all the coefficients are integer, we have arrived at an empirical formula for the skunk spray agent:
