Consider these reactions where M represents a generic metal:
2M(s) + 6HCl(aq) ---->2MCl3(aq) + 3H2(g) Delta H1 =-569kj
HCl(g) ----> HCl(aq)Â Â DeltaH2 = -74.8
H2(g) + Cl2(g) ----> 2HCl(g) Delta H3 = -1845kj
MCl3(s) ----> MCl3(aq)Â Â Delta H4 = -405kj
Use the above information to determine the enthalpy of thefollowing reaction:
2M(s) + 3Cl2(g) ----> 2MCl3(s)Â Â What is Delta Hfor this reaction?
