Please Help! Use Hess’s Law to determine the ΔHrxn for: Ca (s) + ½ O2 (g) → CaO (s) Given: Ca (s) + 2 H+ (aq) → Ca2+ (aq) + H2 (g) ΔH = 1925.9 kJ/mol 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2 H2O (l) ΔH = −571.68 kJ/mole CaO (s) + 2 H+ (aq) → Ca2+ (aq) + H2O (l) ΔH = 2275.2 kJ/mole ΔHrxn =

ΔHrxn = -635.14kJ/mol

Explanation:

We can make algebraic operations of reactions until obtain the desire reaction and, ΔH of the reaction must be operated in the same way to obtain the ΔH of the desire reaction (Hess's law). Using the reactions:

(1)Ca(s) + 2 H+(aq) → Ca2+(aq) + H2(g) ΔH = 1925.9 kJ/mol

(2) 2H2(g) + O2 g) → 2 H2O(l) ΔH = −571.68 kJ/mole

(3) CaO(s) + 2 H+(aq) → Ca2+(aq) + H2O(l) ΔH = 2275.2 kJ/mole

Reaction (1) - (3) produce:

Ca(s) + H2O(l) → H2(g) + CaO(s)

ΔH = 1925.9kJ/mol - 2275.2kJ/mol = -349.3kJ/mol

Now this reaction + 1/2(2):

Ca(s) + ½ O2(g) → CaO(s)

ΔH = -349.3kJ/mol + 1/2 (-571.68kJ/mol)

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary
