# Energy Change in Chemical Reactions

## Reaction Overview

A chemist measures the energy change, \( \Delta H \), during the following reaction:

\[ \text{Cl}_2(g) + \text{H}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \text{HCl}(g) \]

\[ \Delta H = -184 \, \text{kJ} \]

### Understanding the Reaction

- This reaction releases energy, as indicated by the negative \( \Delta H \) value of \(-184 \, \text{kJ}\).

## Questions and Analysis

1. **This reaction is...**
   - [ ] Endothermic.
   - [x] Exothermic.

2. **Suppose 66.1 g of \( \text{Cl}_2 \) react. Will any heat be released or absorbed?**
   - [ ] Yes, absorbed.
   - [x] Yes, released.
   - [ ] No.

3. **If you said heat will be released or absorbed in the second part of this question, calculate how much heat will be released or absorbed.**
   - *Answer in* \(\text{kJ}\): \(\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\).

   *Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.*

## Graphical Explanation

- A small calculator tool is depicted, designed to assist with the calculation, represented by options including a check box for multiplying by ten and a reset button.

### Instructions

- Use stoichiometry to calculate the heat change when 66.1 g of \( \text{Cl}_2 \) are used in the reaction.
- Consider molar ratios and ensure you account for significant figures in your final answer.
