Question

when .250 mol of CH4... need explanation of answer please

when .250 mol of ch4 reacts with excess cl2 at constant pressure according to the chemical equation shown below. 177 kJ of heat ae released. calculate the value ofdelta H for this

2CH4(g) + 3 Cl2(g)---> 2CHCl3(l) + 3H2(g)

a)-1420 kJ

b)-708 kJ

c) +708 kJ

d) +1420 kJ

Answer #2

Step1 Heat released by 2 moles of CH4 = 177x2/.25 =1416 kJ

Step2 ΔH= -1416 kJ /2=-1416/2=-708 kJ/mole

Answer #3

Species            Moles
CH4                 0.250
Cl2                   0.250*3/2=0.375
CHCl3               0.250*2/2=0.250
H2                    0.250*3/2=0.375

ΔH=(HfCHCl3 *0.250)+(HfH2 *0.375)-(HfCH4 *0.250)-(HfCl2 *0.375)

Heat of formation(Hf ) for pure components is zero

ΔH=(-132*0.250)-(-74.8*0.250)=-14.3 kJ
