Joseph Priestly is frequently credited with the discovery of oxygen, and was reported to have produced molecular oxygen from the decomposition reaction of mercury(II) oxide, which is the reverse of the synthesis of HgO depicted in the following equation. Determine the value of for the synthesis, given that for HgO is -90.7 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy change for this reaction is, -362.8 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

The expression for enthalpy change is,

where,

n = number of moles

(as heat of formation of substances in their standard state is zero

(as heat of formation of substances in their standard state is zero

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

Therefore, the enthalpy change for this reaction is, -362.8 kJ

the dissolution of polymer can be thermodynamically described in 2 steps.

i think its 5049.

i hope this !
