(i) \( H _{2}( g )+ Cl _{2}( g ) \longrightarrow 2 HCl \) (g); \( \Delta H =- x kJ \) (ii) \( NaCl + H _{2} SO _{4} \longrightarrow NaHSO _{4}+ HCl ; \Delta H =- y kJ \) (iii) \( 2 H _{2} O +2 Cl _{2} \longrightarrow 4 HCl + O _{2} ; \Delta H =- z kJ \) From the above equations, the value of \( \Delta H _{ f } \) of \( HCl \) is (1) \( -x kJ \) (2) \( - y kJ \) (3) \( - z k J \) (y) \( -x / 2 k J \) |
|
Answer» As we know, the formation of one mole of a compound from its elements in their most stables states of aggregation is called molar enthalpy of formation. Thus, in equation (1) HCl is formed from most stable elemental state of Hydrogen & chlorine. H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl. \(\Delta\)H1 = -x KJ. ∴ formation of one mole of HCl- \(\frac12\)H2(g) + \(\frac12\)Cl2(g) → HCl \(\Delta H\) = \(\frac{\Delta H_1}2\) = \(-\frac{x}2\) KJ Hence, \(\Delta\)Hf of HCl will be -x/2 |

Two point charges +9e and +1e are kept at a distance of 16 cm from each other. At what point between these charges should a third charge q be placed so that it remains in equilibrium. |
|
Answer» Solution: Given charges: +e and +9e Let the third chare q be placed at a distance x from e and hence its distance from 9e is 16-x cm For the system to remain in equilibrium, F1 = F2 Therefore, F1 = K(e q)/x2 F2 = K(9e)/(16-x)2 Equating F1 and F2 , we get, 9/x2 = 1/(16-x)2 Taking square root on both sides: 3/x = 1/(16-x) Solving for x, we get, x = 12cm Hence, the charge q should be placed at 12 cm from +9e. |
