One-half mole of a substance is excited and electrons shift from a ground state to an excited state. If the energy absorbed by the substance is 137.86 kJ and the ground state is n = 2, what is the excited state the electrons have been promoted into

s too much pool water may lead to chlorine poisoning. the concentration of chlorine in public drinking water is extremely low and not harmful to human health. sooo yeahh

explanation:

answer: the enthalpy of the overall chemical reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.

according to hess's law, the overall enthalpy of a reaction is the difference between the sum of enthalpy values of all the products and the sum of enthalpy values of all the reactants.

δh(reaction) = ∑nδh(products) - ∑nδh(reactants)

δh(reaction) = [δh +δh] - [δh]

δh(reaction) = [1(-287.02) + 1(0) ] - [1(-374.9)] kj = +87.88 kj

here, δh (pcl3) = -287.02 kj, δh(cl2) = 0, δh(pcl5) = -374.9 kj

therefore, enthalpy of the overall reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.
