Answer:

The greater the ionization energy, the more difficult it is to remove an electron. The ionization energy may be an indicator of the reactivity of an element. Elements with a low ionization energy tend to be reducing agents and form cations, which in turn combine with anions to form salts.

<h2>yes, because when there is less ionization energy it means that the atomic radius is big so, it will be easy to steal electrons from the outer most orbit of the atom.</h2><h2 />

What is the total energy change for the following reaction:CO+H2O-CO2+H2

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{-41.2 kJ/mol}}$

Explanation:

Balanced equation: CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⟶ CO₂(g) + H₂(g)

We can calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction by using the enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

$\Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)$

(a) Enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

$\begin{array}{cc}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{$\Delta_{\text{f}}$H/(kJ/mol}) \\\text{CO(g)} & -110.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$O} & -241.8\\\text{CO$_{2}$(g)} & -393.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$(g)} & 0 \\\end{array}$

(b) Total enthalpies of reactants and products

$\begin{array}{ccr}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{Contribution)/(kJ/mol})&\textbf{Sum} \\\text{CO(g)} & -110.5& -110.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$O(g)} &-241.8& -241.8\\\textbf{Total}&\textbf{for reactants} &\mathbf{ -352.3}\\&&\\\text{CO}_{2}(g) & -393.5&-393.5 \\\text{H}_{2} & 0 & 0\\\textbf{Total}&\textbf{for products} & \mathbf{-393.5}\end{array}$

(c) Enthalpy of reaction $\Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)= \text{-393.5 kJ/mol - (-352.3 kJ/mol}\\= \text{-393.5 kJ/mol + 352.3 kJ/mol} = \textbf{-41.2 kJ/mol}\\ \text{The total enthalpy change is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-41.2 kJ/mol}}$}$
