A positive cahnge of enthalpy, ΔH rxn = + 55 kJ/mol, for the forward reaction means that the reaction is endothermic, i.e. the reactants absorb energy and the products are higher in energy.
Activation energy is the difference in the energy level of the reactants and the peak in the potential energy diagram (the energy of the transition state).
For an endothermic reaction, the products will be closer in energy to the transition state than what the reactans will be; so, the activation energy of the reversed reaction is lower than the activation energy of the forward reaction.
Activation energy of reverse and forward reactions is related by:
Activation energy of reverse rxn = Activation energy of forward rxn - ΔH rxn
=> Activiation energy of reverse rxn = 102 kJ/mol - 55 kJ/mol = 47 kJ/mol
Answer: 47 kJ/mol
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2HCl + K₂SO₃ ---> 2KCl + H₂O + SO₂
stoichiometry of HCl to SO₂ is 2:1
number of moles of HCl reacted - 15.0 g / 36.5 g/mol = 0.411 mol
according to molar ratio
number of SO₂ moles formed - 0.411 mol /2 = 0.206 mol
since we know the number of moles we can find volume using ideal gas law equation
PV = nRT
where
P - pressure - 1.35 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 136 789 Pa
V - volume
n - number of moles - 0.206 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 325 K
substituting values in the equation
136 789 Pa x V = 0.206 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 325 K
V = 4.07 L
volume of SO₂ formed is 4.07 L
<span>Electrons in a nitrogen-phosphorus covalent bond are not shared equally because nitrogen and phosphorus do not have the same electronegativity. The atoms spend more time around the most electronegative atom nitrogen.</span>
