Answer:
How much energy would be produced from the reaction of 2.40 moles hydrogen with 3.95 moles chlorine?
[tex]H_2 + Cl_2 -> 2HCl , deltaH = -554 kJ[/tex]
Explanation:
Given,
2.40 moles hydrogen reacts with 3.95 moles chlorine.
From the balanced chemical equation,
1mol. of H2 reacts with 1mol. of Cl2
then,
2.40mol. of H2 reacts with ----?mol of Cl2
[tex]=>2.40 mol. H2 * \frac{1mol. Cl2}{1mol. H2} \\=2.40 mol. Cl2[/tex]
So, the remaining moles of Cl2 is in excess.
The limiting reagent is--- H2.
1mol. of H2 releases --- 554kJ of energy
then,
2.40mol of H2 releases ---- ?
[tex]=>2.40mol * \frac{554kJ}{1 mol.} \\=1329.6kJ[/tex]
Answer is: deltaH =-1329.6kJ
