Answer #1

Given : 2 K + Cl 2 2 KCl   H = - 873.0 kJ

For the reaction of 2 mol K , q = - 873.0 kJ.

We can use ratio ( - 873.0 kJ / 2 mol K ) as conversion factor to find out the heat released when 5 mol K reacts,

H = 5 mol K ( - 873.0 kJ / 2 mol K ) = - 2182.5 kJ

ANSWER : When 5 mol K reacts with chlorine , 2182.5 kJ energy is released.
