Explanation / Answer

Q1.

Apply hess law, so

from the reactions, we need PCl5 in the LEFT side, with 1 coefficient so:

divide equation 2, by 4

PCl5 = 1/4P4 + 10/4Cl H = 3438/4

PCl5 = 1/4P4 + 5/2Cl H = 859.5

for equation 1, we need PCl4 in the right side, so we must leave it as it is, divide by 4,

1/4P + 6/4Cl2 = PCl3 H = -2439/4 = 609.75

add all

1/4P + 3/2Cl2 + PCl5 = 1/4P4 + 5/2Cl +PCl3 H = 859.5+609.75

cancel common terms

PCl5 = PCl3 + Cl2 H = 1469.25 kJ/mol

Q2.

Apply same logic

now...

C2H2(g) must be in the right side, invert (RXN1)

C2H6 = C2H2 + 2H2 H = 94.5

we need to cancel H2, so invert and multipl RXN2 by 2

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O H = -2*(71.2)= - 142.4

finally, we need to cancel C2H6 from RXN1, we must invert (3)

2CO2 + 3H2O <--> C2H6 + 7/2O2 H = 283

Add all

C2H6 + 2H2 + O2= C2H2 + 2H2 +2H2O + C2H6 + 7/2O2 H = 94.5+ - 142.4+283

cancel common terms

2CO2 + 3H2O + C2H6 + 2H2 + O2= C2H2 + 2H2 +2H2O + C2H6 + 7/2O2  H = 94.5+ - 142.4+283

2CO2 + H2O = C2H2 + 5/2O H = 235.1 kJ
