The final overall chemical equation is Upper Ca upper O (s) plus upper C upper O subscript 2 (g) right arrow upper C a upper C upper O subscript 3 (s).. When the enthalpy of this overall chemical equation is calculated, the enthalpy of the second intermediate equation is halved and has its sign changed. is halved. has its sign changed. is unchanged.

the enthalpy of the second intermediate equation is halved and has its sign changed.

Explanation:

Let us take a look at the first and second intermediate reactions as well as the overall reaction equation for the process under review;

First reaction;

Ca (s) + CO₂ (g) + ½O₂ (g) → CaCO₃ (s) ΔH₁ = -812.8 kJ

Second reaction;

2Ca (s) + O₂ (g) → 2CaO (s) ΔH₂ = -1269 kJ

Hence the overall equation is now;

CaO (s) + CO₂ (g) → CaCO₃ (s) ΔH = ?

According to the Hess law of constant heat summation, the enthalpy of the overall reaction is supposed to be obtained as a sum of the enthalpy of both reactions but this will not give the enthalpy of the overall reaction in this case. The enthalpy of the overall reaction is rather obtained by halving the enthalpy of the second intermediate reaction and reversing its sign before taking the sum as shown below;

Enthalpy of Intermediate reaction 1 + ½(- Enthalpy of Intermediate reaction 2) = Enthalpy of Overall reaction

did anyone actually do this? like if anyone has submitted this i rly need .

no, the red giant is the hottest with 2.00.000.000 degrees celsius. while the white dwarf only 25,000 degrees celsius.
