![**Problem 8: Calculation of Enthalpy of Decomposition of Aluminum Chloride**
**Reaction:**
\[ 2\text{AlCl}_3 (s) \rightarrow 2\text{Al} (s) + 3\text{Cl}_2 (g) \]
Use the following four equations and their standard enthalpies of formation (\( \Delta H_f^\circ \)):
a) \[ 2\text{Al} (s) + 6\text{HCl} (aq) \rightarrow 2\text{AlCl}_3 (aq) + 3\text{H}_2 (g) \]
\(\Delta H_f^\circ = -1049 \, \text{kJ/mol}\)
b) \[ \text{HCl} (aq) \rightarrow \text{HCl} (g) \]
\(\Delta H_f^\circ = 74.8 \, \text{kJ/mol}\)
c) \[ \text{H}_2 (g) + \text{Cl}_2 (g) \rightarrow 2\text{HCl} (g) \]
\(\Delta H_f^\circ = -1845 \, \text{kJ/mol}\)
d) \[ \text{AlCl}_3 (s) \rightarrow \text{AlCl}_3 (aq) \]
\(\Delta H_f^\circ = -323 \, \text{kJ/mol}\)
To solve, use Hess's Law to combine these reactions to match the desired overall decomposition reaction.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F16e1f2e9-077f-4f61-9d09-4b7854b3fb7f%2F049cd6ad-f564-41a4-b3ed-462d2c3666ff%2F88q6ph_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
