<u>Given:</u>
H2(g) + Cl2 (g) → 2HCl (g)
<u>To determine:</u>
The enthalpy of the reaction and whether it is endo or exothermic
<u>Explanation:</u>
Enthalpy of a reaction is given by the difference between the enthalpy of formation of reactants and products
ΔH = ∑nHf (products) - ∑nHf (reactants)
= [2Hf(HCl)] - [Hf(H2) + Hf(Cl2)] = 2 (-92.3) kJ = - 184.6 kJ
Since the reaction enthalpy is negative, the reaction is exothermic
<u>Ans:</u> The enthalpy of reaction is -184. kJ and the reaction is exothermic
Intensive properties are the properties which values doesnt change with the amount of mass or material that you have, example density, melting point boiling point, molecular mass
Extensive are properties that depends of how much mass or material you have. Example: mass, number of moles, volume, pressure, number of students, population,
mass, volume, quantity (there is only one of each), color, reflect light, temperature, energy
Matter and substance are definitely related. All substances
are matter but all matters are not substance. A matter can consist of numerous
substances. Matter is generally a loose term used in respect to a substance.
Any physical object can be casually called a matter. Matter and substance are
sometimes used for the same context, but it is completely wrong. Numerous
examples have already proved that a matter may or may not be a substance
depending on its physical nature, but a substance is always a matter.
