Answer

See answer below.

Work Step by Step

a) $P_4(s)+5\ O_2(g)\rightarrow P_4O_{10}(s)$ Enthalpy of formation: $-2984\ kJ/mol$ Number of moles of white phosphorus: $1.0\ g\div 123.89\ g/mol=8.07\ mmol$ Enthalpy change: $-2984\ kJ/mol\times 8.07\ mmol=-24.09\ kJ$ b) $NO(g)\rightarrow 1/2\ N_2(g)+1/2\ O_2(g)$ Enthalpy of formation: $+90.29\ kJ/mol$ Enthalpy change: $-90.29\ kJ/mol\times 0.20\ mol=-18.06\ kJ$ c) $Na(s)+1/2\ Cl_2(g)\rightarrow NaCl(s)$ Enthalpy of formation: $-411.12\ kJ/mol$ Number of moles of ammonia: $2.40\ g\div 58.44\ g/mol=0.0411\ mol$ Enthalpy change: $-411.12\ kJ/mol\times 0.0411\ mol=-16.88\ kJ$ d) $2\ Fe(s)+3/2\ O_2(g)\rightarrow Fe_2O_3(s)$ Enthalpy of formation: $-825.3\ kJ/mol$ Number of moles of iron: $250\ g\div 55.845\ g/mol=4.48\ mol$ Enthalpy change: $-825.3\ kJ/mol\times 4.48\ mol\times1/2=-1847.3\ kJ$
