- Would the amount of heat absorbed by the dissolution in Example 5.6 appear greater, lesser, or remain the same if the experimenter used a calorimeter that was a poorer insulator than a coffee cup calorimeter? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardAcetic acid is responsible for the sour taste of vinegar. It can be manufactured using the following reaction: Use tabulated values of bond energies (Table 3-3) to estimate E for this reaction.arrow_forward7-17 If a certain reaction takes 16 h to go to completion at 10°C, what temperature should we run it if we want it to go to completion in 1 h?arrow_forward
- 7-69 Pure carbon exists is several forms, two of which are diamond and graphite. The conversion of the diamond form to the graphite form is exothermic to a very slight extent. How is it that jewelers can advertise "Diamonds are forever"?arrow_forwardCalculate ΔS° for the reaction SO2(s) + NO2(g) —> SO3(g) + NO(g). Show the necessary steps. Given: S°(J/K·mol): SO2(s) = 248.5 NO2(g) = 240.5 SO3(g) = 256.2 NO(g) = 210.6arrow_forwardFor which reaction is ΔG° expected to be closest to ΔH°?N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇄ 2NH3(g)H2O(ℓ) ⇄ H2O(s)NaCl(s) ⇄ Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)CO2(g) ⇄ CO2(s)2NO(g) ⇄ N2(g) + O2(g)arrow_forward
- 2Al(s) + 302(g) ---> 2Al203(s) ΔHo = -3351 kJ The reaction shown above is ________ and therefore heat is _____ by the reaction. endothermic, absorbed exothermic, absorbed endothermic, evolved exothermic, evolvedarrow_forwardWhen a mixture of hydrogen and bromine is maintained at normal atmospheric pressure and heated above 200. °C in a closed container, the hydrogen and bromine react to form hydrogen bromide and a gas-phase equilibrium is established. Write a balanced chemical equation for the equilibrium reaction. Use bond enthalpies from Table 6.2 ( Sec. 6-6b) to estimate the enthalpy change for the reaction. Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), which is more important in determining the position of this equilibrium, the entropy effect or the energy effect? In which direction will the equilibrium shift as the temperature increases above 200. °C? Explain. Suppose that the pressure were increased to triple its initial value. In which direction would the equilibrium shift? Why is the equilibrium not established at room temperature?arrow_forwardIs Ssurr favorable or unfavorable for exothermic reactions? Endothermic reactions? Explain.arrow_forward
