To find the molar enthalpy for chlorine, we need to determine the change in enthalpy per mole of chlorine.
The balanced equation for the given reaction is:
C(s) + 2Cl2(g) -> CCl4(l)
From the balanced equation, we can see that for every 2 moles of Cl2, we produce 1 mole of CCl4.
The change in enthalpy for the reaction is given as ∆H = -106.4 kJ.
Therefore, the molar enthalpy for chlorine can be calculated as follows:
Molar enthalpy of Cl2 = ∆H / coefficient of Cl2
Molar enthalpy of Cl2 = -106.4 kJ / 2 = -53.2 kJ/mol
Therefore, the molar enthalpy for chlorine is -53.2 kJ/mol.
C(s) + 2Cl2(g) -> CCl4(l) ∆= -106.4 kJ What is the molar enthalpy for chlorine?
