(a)
Interpretation:
The transition states in graph needs to be identified as endothermic or exothermic reactions.
Concept introduction:
Exothermic reaction releases heat as energy to the environment while endothermic reaction absorbs heat from the surrounding environment. This phenomenon makes significant differences in the energy diagram of these 2 reactions.
(b)
Interpretation:
By considering the amount of activation energy of the 2 reactions, the faster reaction can be selected.
Concept introduction:
Activation energy of a reaction is the amount of energy that must be provided to start a
(c)
Interpretation:
The products in an energy diagram and the reaction coordinate needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Products of a chemical reaction is represented by the final point of the reaction coordinate axis of an energy diagram.
(d)
Interpretation:
The transition states in the energy diagram needs to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Transition state is the state relevant to the highest energy through the reaction coordinate.
(f)
Interpretation:
The change in enthalpy for the reaction needs to be labeled.
Concept introduction:
Enthalpy of a reaction is the energy change occurs in the system, during the particular reaction. Enthalpy of a reaction is measured as kilo Joules per mole (kJ mol-1) or kilo calories per mole (kcal mol-1).

- Enthalpy a A 100.-g sample of water is placed in an insulated container and allowed to come to room temperature at 21C. To heat the water sample to 41C, how much heat must you add to it? b Consider the hypothetical reaction,2X(aq)+Y(l)X2Y(aq)being run in an insulated container that contains 100. g of solution. If the temperature of the solution changes from 21C to 31C, how much heat does the chemical reaction produce? How does this answer compare with that in part a? (You can assume that this solution is so dilute that it has the same heat capacity as pure water.) c If you wanted the temperature of 100. g of this solution to increase from 21C to 51C, how much heat would you have to add to it? (Try to answer this question without using a formula.) d If you had added 0.02 mol of X and 0.01 mol of Y to form the solution in part b, how many moles of X and Y would you need to bring about the temperature change described in part c. e Judging on the basis of your answers so far, what is the enthalpy of the reaction 2X(aq) + Y(l) X2Y(aq)?arrow_forwardHypothetical elements A2 and B2 react according to the following equation, forming the compound AB.
