Consider the reaction H2(g) 1 Cl2(g) 2HCl(g) H 5 2184.6 kJ/mol If 3 moles of H2 react with 3 moles of Cl2 to form HCl, calculate the work done (in joules) against a pressure of 1.0 atm at 258C. What is DU for this reaction? Assume the reaction goes to completion.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
We have six moles of gas (3 moles of hydrogen and 3 moles of chlorine) in the reactant side. Since the product side also contains six moles of gaseous hydrogen chloride, there is no change in number of moles of gas. Hence there is no change in the total volume, .
