asked 02/13/20Calculate Delta H reaction
Calculate the standard enthalpy change, ΔH°rxn, in kJ for the following chemical equation, using only the thermochemical equations below:
2SOCl2(l) + O2(g) → 2SO2(g) + 2Cl2(g)
Equations: | ΔH°rxn (kJ) | |
2Fe(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2FeCl3(s) | -800 | |
4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) → 2Fe2O3(s) | -1644.4 | |
Fe2O3(s) + 3SOCl2(l) → 2FeCl3(s) + 3SO2(g) | -137.7 |

Reverse eq 1 & x2: 4FeCl3 ==> 4Fe + 6Cl2 ΔH = +1600
copy eq 2: 4Fe + 3O2 ==> 2Fe2O3 ΔH = -1644
copy eq 3 & x2: 2Fe2O3 + 6SOCl2 ==> 4FeCl3 + 6SO2 ΔH = -275
add all, cancel where appropriate, and add the ΔH values. Then divide all by thee to get
2SOCl2 + O2 ==> 2SO2 + 2Cl2 ΔH = -106kJ
