Identify the target reaction: CH4(g) + 2 Cl2(g) → CH2Cl2(g) + 2 HCl(g).
Notice that the target reaction can be seen as the sum of two given reactions: CH4(g) + Cl2(g) → CH3Cl(g) + HCl(g) and CH3Cl(g) + Cl2(g) → CH2Cl2(g) + HCl(g).
Write the given reactions and their enthalpy changes: 1) CH4(g) + Cl2(g) → CH3Cl(g) + HCl(g), ΔH° = -98.3 kJ; 2) CH3Cl(g) + Cl2(g) → CH2Cl2(g) + HCl(g), ΔH° = -104 kJ.
Add the two reactions together to obtain the target reaction: CH4(g) + 2 Cl2(g) → CH2Cl2(g) + 2 HCl(g).
Add the enthalpy changes of the two reactions to find the ΔH° for the target reaction: ΔH° = (-98.3 kJ) + (-104 kJ).

Hess's Law

Hess's Law states that the total enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps of the reaction, regardless of the pathway taken. This principle allows us to calculate the enthalpy change for a reaction that may not be directly measurable by using known enthalpy changes of related reactions.

Enthalpy Change (ΔH°)

Enthalpy change (ΔH°) is a measure of the heat content of a system at constant pressure. It indicates whether a reaction is exothermic (releases heat, ΔH° < 0) or endothermic (absorbs heat, ΔH° > 0). Understanding ΔH° is crucial for predicting the energy changes associated with chemical reactions.

Standard State Conditions

Standard state conditions refer to a set of specific conditions (usually 1 atm pressure and a specified temperature, typically 25°C) under which thermodynamic measurements are made. These conditions provide a reference point for comparing the enthalpy changes of different reactions, ensuring consistency in thermodynamic data.

Citric acid has three dissociable hydrogens. When 5.00 mL of 0.64 M citric acid and 45.00 mL of 0.77 M NaOH are mixed at an initial temperature of 26.0 °C, the temperature rises to 27.9 °C as the citric acid is neutralized. The combined mixture ahs a mass of 51.6 g and a specific heat of 4.0 J/(g·°C). Assuming that no heat is transferred to the surroundings, cal- culate the enthalpy change for the reaction of 1.00 mol of cit- ric acid in kJ. Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?
