Calculate δhrxn for the following reaction: ch4(g)+2cl2(g)→ch2cl2(g)+2hcl(g) use the following reactions and given δh values. ch4(g)+cl2(g)→ch3cl(g)+hcl(g), δh=−99.60 kj ch3cl(g)+cl2(g)→ch2cl2(g)+hcl(g), δh=−105.8 kj express your answer to four significant figures.

The for the reaction is -205.4 kJ.

Explanation:

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The chemical equation for the reaction of methane and chlorine gas follows:

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1)    

(2)    

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the for the reaction is -205.4 kJ.

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
