Determine the enthalpy change for the decomposition of calcium carbonate. caco₃(s) --> cao(s) + co₂(g) given the thermochemical equations below:
ca(oh)₂(s) --> cao(s) + h₂o(l); enthalpy reaction = 65.2 kj/mol
ca(oh)₂(s) + co₂(g) --> caco₃(s) + h₂o(l); enthalpy reaction = -113.8 kj/mol
c(s) + o₂(g) --> co₂(g); enthalpy of reation = -393.5 kj/mol
2ca(s) + o₂(g) --> 2cao(s); enthalpy of reaction = -1270.2 kj/mol

a. 1711.7 kj/mol rxn
b. 441 kj/mol rxn
c. 179 kj/mol rxn
d. 48 kj/mol rxn
e. 345.5 kj. mol rxn

c. 179 kJ/mol

Explanation:

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to Hess’s law, the chemical equation can be treated as algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

Given:

      (1)

      (2)

      (3)

     (4)

On subtracting eq (1) from eq (2) we have:

-

Hence the enthalpy change for the raection is 179.0 kJ/mol.

why is arctic sea ice important? arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and moderate global climate. sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. as sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface.

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
