AI Thread Summary
To calculate the enthalpy of formation of gaseous hydrogen chloride (HCl) at 298.15 K, relevant data includes the enthalpy changes for reactions involving ammonia and hydrochloric acid, as well as their solvation energies. The formula to use is ΔH = Σ H(products) - Σ H(reactants). There is uncertainty about the starting point for the calculation, and the discussion suggests that Hess's law may be applicable. Clarification is needed on whether the formation equation should involve hydrogen and chlorine or other reactants. Understanding the context and proper equations is crucial for solving this problem effectively.

Homework Statement


I shall calculate the enthalpy of formation of gaseous hydrogen chlorid at 298,15 K
with the usage of thw following data:

\Delta [NH_{3}+HCL -&gt;NH_{4}] :-50,4 kJmol^{-1}<br /> \Delta H_{form} NH_{3}:-46,2kJmol^{-1}<br /> NHCL_{4}:-315kJmol^{-1}

and <br /> \Delta H_{solv} NH_{3}:-35,7kJmol^{-1}<br /> HCL:-73,5kJmol^{-1}<br /> NH_{4}CL:+16,4kJmol^{-1}

Homework Equations



I know that I need the formula that

\Delta H=\Sigma H(products) - \Sigma H(educts)



The Attempt at a Solution



Well to be honest I don't know where to start, our notes are just useless from the professor and I don't find anything useful on the internet. Would be nice if anyone could give me some hints.

Thanks for the help

the second list are all of those energies of solvation? What level of chemistry is this? You may need to look at Hess's law for this problem but usually you don't use energy of solvation in these...

Do you have an equation for the formation that you want to use..are they looking for HCl coming from hydrogen and chlorine only or from something else.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...

This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
