A1.67-g sample of solid silver reacted in excess chlorine gas to give a2.21-g sample of pure solid agcl. the heat given off in this reaction was 1.96 kj at constant pressure. given this information, what is the enthalpy of formation of agcl(s)

Given:

Mass of Ag = 1.67 g

Mass of Cl = 2.21 g

Heat evolved = 1.96 kJ

To determine:

The enthalpy of formation of AgCl(s)

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2Ag(s) + Cl2(g) → 2AgCl(s)

Calculate the moles of Ag and Cl from the given masses

Atomic mass of Ag = 108 g/mol

# moles of Ag = 1.67/108 = 0.0155 moles

Atomic mass of Cl = 35 g/mol

# moles of Cl = 2.21/35 = 0.0631 moles

Since moles of Ag << moles of Cl, silver is the limiting reagent.

Based on reaction stoichiometry: # moles of AgCl formed = 0.0155 moles

Enthalpy of formation of AgCl = 1.96 kJ/0.0155 moles = 126.5 kJ/mol

Ans: Formation enthalpy = 126.5 kJ/mol
