Consider the following reaction:
2Na + Cl2 2NaCl ΔH = -821.8 kJ
(a) Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? (b) Calculate the amount of heat transferred when
5.6 g of Na reacts at constant pressure. (c) How many grams of NaCl are produced during an
enthalpy change of 16.5 kJ? (d) How many kilojoules of heat are absorbed when 44.1 g of NaCl
is decomposed into Na and Cl2 at constant pressure?
