iii) Calculate ΔH for the reaction 2 Al (s) + 3 Cl2 (g) → 2 AlCl3 (s) from the data
2 Al (s) + 6 HCl (aq) → 2 AlCl3 (aq) + 3 H2 (g) ΔH = -1049. kJ
HCl (g) → HCl (aq) ΔH = -74.8 kJ
H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) → 2 HCl (g) ΔH = -1845. kJ
AlCl3 (s) → AlCl3 (aq) ΔH = -323. kJ
We have to calculate ΔH for the reaction: 2 Al (s) + 3 Cl2 (g) → 2 AlCl3 (s)
It is given that:
2 Al (s) + 6 HCl (aq) → 2 AlCl3 (aq) + 3 H2 (g) ΔH = -1049. kJ -----------------------------------------------(1)
HCl (g) → HCl (aq) ΔH = -74.8 kJ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(2)
H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) → 2 HCl (g) ΔH = -1845. kJ --------------------------------------------------------------------------(3)
AlCl3 (s) → AlCl3 (aq) ΔH = -323. kJ-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(4)
We must calculate:
(1) + 6x (2) + 3x (3) - 2 x (4)
then we will get the required equation.
ΔH for this reaction is:
-1049. kJ + 6 x -74.8 kJ + 3 x -1845. kJ - (-323. kJ)
= -7035.8 + 323 kJ
= - 6172.8 kJ
