    Given the following thermochemical equations:                 \[Zn+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}ZnO+84,000\,\,cal\]                 \[Hg+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}HgO+21,700\,\,cal\] Accordingly the heat of reaction for the following reaction \[Zn+HgO\xrightarrow{{}}Hg+\]heat is:

    A) \[105,700\,\,cal\]                            

    B) \[61,000\,\,cal\]

    C) \[105,000\,\,cal\]                            

    D)  \[62,300\,\,cal\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Use Hesse's law Given\[Zn+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}ZnO+84000\,\,cal\]          \[Hg+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}HgO+21,700\,\,cal\]          \[Zn+HgO\xrightarrow{{}}Hg+ZnO+\]heat               \[\frac{1}{2}O\,\,Zn\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}ZnO+84,000\,\,cal\]                  \[HgO\xrightarrow{{}}Hg+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}-21,000\,\,cal\]        \[\overline{Zn+HgO\xrightarrow{{}}ZnO+Hg+62,300\,\,cal}\] \[\therefore \]Heat in reaction\[=+62300\,\,cal\].
