Question

Consider the following reaction: 2Na + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl

Consider the following reaction:
2Na + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl ΔH = -821.8 kJ
(a) Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? (b) Calculate the amount of heat transferred when 5.6 g of Na reacts at constant pressure. (c) How many grams of NaCl are produced during an enthalpy change of 16.5 kJ? (d) How many kilojoules of heat are absorbed when 44.1 g of NaCl is decomposed into Na and Cl2 at constant pressure?

Answer #1

a.

dH is -. By definition that is exothermic.

b.

You get 821.8 kJ for 2*23 or 46 g Na. So 5.6 g Na will give you

821..8 kJ x 5.6/46 = ? kJ.

c.

Rearrange part b. You have 821.8 kJ when 2*58.5 g NaCl are formed.

So 2*58.5 g NaCl x 16.5 kJ/821.8 kJ = ?

d.

See b and c parts.
