The enthalpy of Sodium is 235 calories. The enthalpy Chlorine is 435 calories. The enthalpy of Sodium chloride 670 joules, what is the change in enthalpy for this reaction?

Sagot :

Answer:

ΔH = -2446J

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl

We can find the enthalpy of this reaction using Hess's law:

The enthalpy of a reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy of products times their reaction quotient subtracting the enthalpy of reactants times their reaction quotient. For the reaction of the problem:

ΔH = 2ΔH(NaCl) - [2ΔH(Na) + ΔHCl2)]

ΔH(NaCl) = 670J

ΔH(Na) = 235cal * (4.184J/1cal) = 983J

ΔHCl2 = 435cal * (4.184J/1cal) = 1820J

ΔH = 2*670J - [2*983J + 1820J]

ΔH = 1340J - [3786J]

ΔH = -2446J

Answer:

the heat content of a system at constant pressure
