The heat of formation of the compound in the following reaction is H2+Cl2→2HCl+44K.cal. Calculate heat of formation of one mole of HCl gas.
At 298 K, the heats of formation of CCl4 (g), H2O (g), CO2 (g) and HCl (g) are -25, -57, -94 and -22K.cal mol−1 respectively. The ΔH of the reaction:
CCl4(g)+2H2O→CO2(g)+4HCl(g)
