Determine the point group change, if any, when GeCl4 is transformed into GeCl3F by a substitution process.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The removal of one chlorine atom and addition of one fluorine atom.

Explanation:

When GeCl4 is transformed into GeCl3F by a substitution process, the main change that is occur in GeCl4 is the removal of one chlorine atom and addition of one fluorine atom. This process is known as substitution process in which two molecules exchange their atoms with each other when they comes in physically contact with each other.

Given the following data:

bagirrra123 [75]

$176.0 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$

As long as the equation in question can be expressed as the sum of the three equations with known enthalpy change, its $\Delta H$ can be determined with the Hess's Law. The key is to find the appropriate coefficient for each of the given equations.

Let the three equations with $\Delta H$ given be denoted as (1), (2), (3), and the last equation (4). Let $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ be letters such that $a \times (1) + b \times (2) + c \times (3) = (4)$ . This relationship shall hold for all chemicals involved.

There are three unknowns; it would thus take at least three equations to find their values. Species present on both sides of the equation would cancel out. Thus, let coefficients on the reactant side be positive and those on the product side be negative, such that duplicates would cancel out arithmetically. For instance, $3 + (-1) = 2$ shall resemble the number of $\text{H}_2$ left on the product side when the second equation is directly added to the third. Similarly

$\text{NH}_4 \text{Cl} \; (s)$ : $-2 \; a = 1$
$\text{NH}_3\; (g)$ : $-2 \; b = -1$
$\text{HCl} \; (g)$ : $2 \; c = -1$

Thus

$a = -1/2\\b = 1/2\\c = -1/2$ and

$-\frac{1}{2} \times (1) + \frac{1}{2} \times (2) - \frac{1}{2} \times (3)= (4)$

Verify this conclusion against a fourth species involved- $\text{N}_2 \; (g)$ for instance. Nitrogen isn't present in the net equation. The sum of its coefficient shall, therefore, be zero.

$a + b = -1/2 + 1/2 = 0$

Apply the Hess's Law based on the coefficients to find the enthalpy change of the last equation.

$\Delta H _{(4)} = -\frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(1)} + \frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(2)} - \frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(3)}\\\phantom{\Delta H _{(4)}} = -\frac{1}{2} \times (-628.9)+ \frac{1}{2} \times (-92.2) - \frac{1}{2} \times (184.7) \\\phantom{\Delta H _{(4)}} = 176.0 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$
