Calculate deltaH for the production of 0.200 mol of AgCl by this reaction. Given the equation,

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) --> AgCl(s) deltaH = -65.5 kJ

It tells that formation of 1 mole of AgCl liberates 65.5 kJ of heat. Hence, the heat liberated for the production of 0.200 mole AgCl can be computed using ratio and proportion:

-65.5 kJ / 1 mol AgCl = x / 0.200 mol AgCl
x = -13.1 ...
