Answer:
ΔH∘rxn of the reaction is -521.6kJ
Explanation:
Complete question: "Calculate the value of ΔH°rxn for 2F2(g)+2H2O(l)⟶4HF(g)+O2(g)"
You can find the ΔH of a reaction by the algebraic sum of similar reactions (Hess's law) as follows:
(1) H₂(g) + F₂(g) ⟶ 2HF(g) ΔH∘rxn=−546.6 kJ
(2) 2H₂(g)+O₂(g)⟶2H₂O(l) ΔH∘rxn=−571.6 kJ
Subtracting 2ₓ(1) - (2)
2ₓ(1) 2H₂(g) + 2F₂(g) ⟶ 4HF(g) ΔH∘rxn=2ₓ−546.6 kJ = -1093.2kJ
-(2) 2H₂O(l) ⟶ 2H₂(g)+O₂(g) ΔH∘rxn=- (-571.6 kJ) = 571.6kJ
2ₓ(1) - (2) 2F₂(g)+ 2H₂O(l) ⟶ 4HF(g) + O₂(g)
H₂(g) are cancelled because are the same in products and reactants
ΔH∘rxn = -1093.2kJ + 571.6kJ
ΔH∘rxn = -521.6
ΔH∘rxn of the reaction is -521.6kJ
