Chemistry

Consider these reactions where M represents a generic metal:

2M(s) + 6HCl(aq) ---->2MCl3(aq) + 3H2(g) Delta H1 =-569kj

HCl(g) ----> HCl(aq)   DeltaH2 = -74.8

H2(g) + Cl2(g) ----> 2HCl(g) Delta H3 = -1845kj

MCl3(s) ----> MCl3(aq)   Delta H4 = -405kj

Use the above information to determine the enthalpy of thefollowing reaction:

2M(s) + 3Cl2(g) ----> 2MCl3(s)   What is Delta Hfor this reaction?

notes use hess laws for enthalpy changes note that we need 2Ms in the left so eqn 1 remains the same we need to cancel HClaq so we need to multiply eqn 2 by 6 then 2Ms 6HClaq    See Answer
