The heats of combustion of yellow phosphorus and red phosphorous are - 9.19 KJ and - 8.78 KJ respectively, then heat of transition of yellow phosphorus to red phosphorous is

Answer»

Solution :(i) `P_(4) ("yellow")+5O_(2)(G) rarr P_(4)O_(10)+9.19 KJ`
(ii) `P_(4) ("RED")+5O_(2)(g) rarr P_(4)O_(10)+8.78 kJ`
SUBTRACTING, `P_(4) ("yellow")-P_(4) ("red")=1.13 KJ`
`rArr P ("yellow")=P_(4) ("rad")+1.13 KJ`
So, HEAT of transition of yellow to red phosphorus is `-1.13 KJ`
