### Thermochemistry Problem: Reaction Enthalpy Calculation

The following reactions and their respective enthalpy changes (\( \Delta H \)) are given:

1. \(\frac{1}{2} \text{N}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{NO}_2(g)\)  
   \( \Delta H = 33.2 \, \text{kJ} \)

2. \(\text{NO}_2\text{Cl}(g) \rightarrow \text{NO}_2(g) + \frac{1}{2} \text{Cl}_2(g)\)  
   \( \Delta H = 20.6 \, \text{kJ} \)

### Task

Calculate the enthalpy change (\( \Delta H \)) for the following reaction:

\[ \text{N}_2(g) + 2\text{O}_2(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{NO}_2\text{Cl}(g) \]

### Solution

To calculate the overall enthalpy change for this reaction, use Hess's law, which states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes for each step.

1. Reverse reaction 2:
   \[\text{NO}_2(g) + \frac{1}{2} \text{Cl}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{NO}_2\text{Cl}(g) \] 
   Reverse \( \Delta H = -20.6 \, \text{kJ} \)

2. Adjust reaction 1 for two moles of \(\text{NO}_2(g)\):
   \[\text{N}_2(g) + 2\text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{NO}_2(g)\] 
   Adjusted \( \Delta H = 2 \times 33.2 = 66.4 \, \text{kJ} \)

3. Combine the adjusted reactions:
   \[\text{N}_2(g) + 2\text{O}_2(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{NO}_2\text{Cl}(g)\]

Calculate the total \( \Delta H \):
\[ \Delta H = 66.4 \, \text

Expert Solution
Step 1

The change in enthalpy for the reaction mentioned is to be calculated.

Step 2

Consider the following notations:-

F = Change in enthalpy of the 1st reaction

Q = Change in enthalpy of the 2nd reaction

Z = Change in enthalpy of the overall reaction

 

 

Step 3

The 1st reaction is given as:-

                                12N2 (g) + O2(g)  NO2 (g)                                             ....... (1)

Multiplying the reaction (1) with 2,

                                  N2 (g) + 2O2(g)  2NO2 (g)                                           ....... (2)

The given enthalpy of the 1st reaction will also get multiplied by 2. Thus,

                                  F = 2 × 33.2 kJF = 66.4 kJ
