Predict the value of \(\Delta H_{\mathrm{f}}^{\circ}\) (greater than, less than, or equal to zero) for these elements at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) : (a) \(\mathrm{Br}_{2}(g)\) and \(\mathrm{Br}_{2}(l)\) (b) \(\mathrm{I}_{2}(g)\) and \(\mathrm{I}_{2}(s)\)
Write the equation for calculating the enthalpy of a reaction. Define all the terms.
Decomposition reactions are usually endothermic, whereas combination reactions are usually exothermic. Give a qualitative explanation for these trends.
The average temperature in deserts is high during the day but quite cool at night, whereas that in regions along the coastline is more moderate. Explain.
A 0.1375 -g sample of solid magnesium is burned in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of \(3024 \mathrm{~J} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The temperature increases by \(1.126^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Calculate the heat given off by the burning \(\mathrm{Mg}\), in \(\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{g}\) and in \(\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\).
