Chapter 5: Q5.3-69E (page 273)
Using the data in Appendix G, calculate the standard enthalpy change for each of the following reactions:
(a) Si(s) + 2F2(g)⟶SiF4(g)
(b) 2C(s) + 2H2(g) + O2(g)⟶CH3CO2H(l)
(c) CH4(g) + N2(g)⟶HCN(g) + NH3(g)
(d) CS2(g) + 3Cl2(g)⟶CCl4(g) + S2Cl2(g)
Short Answer
(a) The change in enthalpy is -1615.0kJ.
(b) The change in enthalpy is -484.2kJ.
(c) The change in enthalpy is 164.2kJ.
(d) The change in enthalpy is -232.1 kJ.
