Answer : The heat release in the formation of NaCl will be -108.8 KJ
Explanation : We are given 5 L of [tex] Cl_{2} [/tex] which has density of 1.88 g
So, 5 X 1.88 = 9.4 g;
Now, 9.4 g of [tex] Cl_{2} [/tex] = 9.4 / 71 mole = 0.134 moles of [tex] Cl_{2} [/tex]
From the reaction we know 2 X 0.134 = 0.264 moles of NaCl is formed.
Now, Heat of formation of NaCl is - 411 KJ;
So, the heat release for formation of [tex] Cl_{2} [/tex] = 0.264 X (-411)
= - 108.8 KJ
