Given the following two reactions:

(1)Pb(s) + Cl2(g)PbCl2(s)       H(1) = -359.4 kJ

(2)Hg(l) + Cl2(g)HgCl2(s)       H(2) = -224.3 kJ

Calculate the enthalpy change for the following reaction:

(3) Pb(s) + HgCl2(s) PbCl2(s) + Hg(l)

Hi RioNii, change equation (2) to:

HgCl2(s) <-> (2)Hg(l) + Cl2(g)       ΔH = +224.3 kJ

Now add them:

ΔH = -359.4 kJ + 224.3 kJ = -135.1 KJ
