Methanol, CH3OH, may be an excellent alternative fuel. The high-temperature reaction of steam and carbon produces a mixture of the gases carbon monoxide, CO, and hydrogen, H2, from which methanol can be produced. Using the bond energies as shown, calculate the approximate enthalpy change, ΔH, for the reaction here: CO(g) + 2H2(g) ⟶ CH3 OH(g)
Phosgene, a substance used in poisonous gas warfare during World War I, is so named because it was first prepared by the action of sunlight on a mixture of carbon monoxide and chlorine gases. Its name comes from the Greek words phos (light) and genes (born of). Phosgene has the following elemental composition: 12.14% C, 16.17% O, and 71.69% Cl by mass. Its molar mass is 98.9 g/mol.
(d) Using average bond enthalpies, estimate H for the formation of gaseous phosgene from CO(g) and Cl2(g).
For the O2+ ion predict (a) number of unpaired electrons, (b) bond order, (c) bond enthalpy and bond length.
