Answer True or False for each of the following statements. (a) The carburization surface was maintained at slightly less than 0.25 wt% carbon for each specimen. (b) Comparing the finished specimens at a depth of 0.20 mm, specimen A features the lowest carbon concentration. (c) Comparing the finished specimens as a whole, specimen D features the lowest overall amount of carbon. (d) Specimen B experienced a longer carburization time compared to specimen A. (e) The initial concentration of carbon in each part (prior to carburization) was approximately 1.00 wt% carbon.

answer: the enthalpy of the overall chemical reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.

according to hess's law, the overall enthalpy of a reaction is the difference between the sum of enthalpy values of all the products and the sum of enthalpy values of all the reactants.

δh(reaction) = ∑nδh(products) - ∑nδh(reactants)

δh(reaction) = [δh +δh] - [δh]

δh(reaction) = [1(-287.02) + 1(0) ] - [1(-374.9)] kj = +87.88 kj

here, δh (pcl3) = -287.02 kj, δh(cl2) = 0, δh(pcl5) = -374.9 kj

therefore, enthalpy of the overall reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.
