Sec 4.4

Temperature dependence of reaction enthalpies...

This problem involves 2 parts:

1) ΔH°(298K) can be calculated via heats of formation (ΔH°_f)

2) the second part requires that you look up the C_p,m values from table 2.5...

Study Example Problem 4.2 for calculation details...

ΔH°(298K) = -92.3 kJ/mol HCl

temp correction = -2.8 kJ/mol HCl

ΔH°(298K) = -95.1 kJ/mol HCl

Explanation: this difference is mainly due to the change in the heat capacity of Cl₂ gas; the product HCl has a lower heat capacity than Cl₂...so heat produced from the reaction cannot be contained in the products hence it is given off...ie. higher ΔH°(1450K).
