Answer:
The enthalpy of reaction for the reaction of chlorine with ozone is -162.5 kJ.
Explanation:
[tex]ClO ( g ) + O_3 ( g )\rightarrow Cl ( g ) + 2 O_2 ( g ),\Delta H^o_{1,rxn} =-122.8 kJ [/tex]..[1]
[tex]2 O_3 ( g )\rightarrow 3O_2 ( g ),\Delta H^o_{2,rxn} = -285.3 kJ [/tex]..[2]
[tex]O_3(g) + Cl(g)\rightarrow ClO (g)+O_2(g),\Delta H^o_{3,rxn}=?[/tex]..[3]
The enthalpy of reaction for the reaction of chlorine with ozone can be calculated by using Hess's law:
[2] - [1] = [3]
[tex]\Delta H^o_{3,rxn}=\Delta H^o_{2,rxn}-\Delta H^o_{1,rxn}[/tex]
[tex]=-285.3 kJ-(-122.8 kJ)=162.5 kJ[/tex]
The enthalpy of reaction for the reaction of chlorine with ozone is -162.5 kJ.
