ΔHr = -86.73 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Using Hess's law, you can calculate ΔH of any reaction using ΔH°f of products and reactants involed in the reaction.

Hess law: ∑nΔH°f products - ∑nΔH°f reactants = ΔHr

-Where n are moles of reaction-

For the reaction:

Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s)

Hess law is:

ΔHr = ΔH°f Fe(OH)₃ - ΔH°f Fe³⁺ - 3×ΔH°f OH⁻

Where:

ΔH°f Fe(OH)₃: −824.25 kJ/mol

ΔH°f Fe³⁺: −47.7 kJ/mol

ΔH°f OH⁻: −229.94 kJ/mol

Replacing:

ΔHr = −824.25 kJ/mol - (−47.7 kJ/mol) - (3×-229.94 kJ/mol)

ΔHr = -86.73 kJ/mol

they are made of gases.

they have a spherical shape.

they make energy through fusion.
