(a) Diborane (B2H6) is a highly reactive borohydride that can be used as rocket fuel. Calculate Δ? for synthesis from the elements as:
2B (s) + 3H2 (g) → B2H6 (g)
Use the following data:
4B (s) + 3O2 (g) → 2B2O. (S) Δ? = -2546 kJ mol-1
B2H6 (g) + 3O2 (g) → B2O3 (s) + 3H2O (g) Δ? = -2035 kJ mol-1
2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O (l) Δ? = -572 kJ mol-1
H2O (l) → H2O (g) Δ? = 44 kJ mol-1
(b) Does the reaction increase or decrease entropy? Motivate your answer.
Answer:-
This question is solved by using the simple concept of Hess law of constant heat transfer and using the definition of entropy.

Calculate the enthalpy of the reaction 2NO(g) + O2(g)2NO2(g) Hess's law states that "the heat released or absorbed in a chemical process is the same whether the process takes place in one or in several steps." It is important to recall the following rules: given the following reactions and enthalpies of formation: 1. ¢ N2(g) + O2(g)+NO2(g), AH; = 33.2 kJ 2. N2(g) + O2(g) NO(g), AHB = 90.2 kJ 1. When two reactions are added, their enthalpy values are...
