How does the A Hreaction relate to the A He of molecules involved in a reaction? A. A Hreaction = A Hf, reactants

B. AHreaction = A Hf, products - AHf, reactants

C. A Hreaction = AHf, products

D. A Hreaction = A Ht, products + AHf, reactants

B. ΔHreaction = ΔH°f reactants- ΔH°f products

Explanation:

Using Hess's law, it is possible to sum ΔH of several related reactions to find ΔH of a particular reaction.

Having in mind Hess's law, ΔH°f is defined as the change in enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of substance from its constituent elements (That is, pure elements, mono or diatomics, that have a ΔH° = 0).

For example, in ΔH°f of H₂O, the equation is:

H₂(g) + 1/2O₂(g) → H₂O(g)

The constituent elements with ΔH°f = 0 are H₂(g) and O₂(g).

Now, using Hess's law, you can sum the ΔH°f of substance in a reaction as, for example:

NaOH + HCl → H₂O + NaCl. ΔHr

The ΔH°f for each substance in the reaction is:

NaOH: Na + 1/2H₂ + 1/2O₂ → NaOH (1)

HCl: 1/2H₂ + 1/2Cl₂ → HCl (2)

H₂O: H₂ + 1/2O₂ → H₂O (3)

NaCl: Na + 1/2Cl₂ → NaCl (4)

The algebraic sum of (3) + (4) is -(ΔH°f reactants):

H₂ + 1/2O₂ + Na + 1/2Cl₂ → NaCl + H₂O ΔH°f reactants

This reaction - {(1)+(2)} ΔH°f products

NaOH + HCl → H₂O + NaCl.

ΔHr = ΔH°f reactants- ΔH°f products

In the example, we obtain this relationship that can be expanded for all reactions. Thus, right answer is:

2h2o2--> 2h2o + o2

this reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.

add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

this may not be entirely correct but let me know.
