Interpretation:
The heat obtained from the given reaction has to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Bond enthalpy:
The measure of stability of molecule is bond enthalpy. The change in enthalpy is related in breaking a specific bond of 1 mole of gaseous molecule. In solids and liquids bond enthalpies are affected by neighboring molecules. There is possibility to predict the enthalpy of reaction using the average bond enthalpies. Energy is always needed for the breaking of
The enthalpy of reaction in gas phase is given by,

- Dinitrogen monoxide, N2O, can decompose to nitrogen and oxygen gas: 2 N2O(g) 2 N2(g) + O2(g) Use bond dissociation enthalpies to estimate the enthalpy change for this reaction.arrow_forwardhat is the enthalpy change for a process? Is enthalpy a state function? In what experimental apparatus are enthalpy changes measured?arrow_forwardA commercial process for preparing ethanol (ethyl alcohol), C2H5OH, consists of passing ethylene gas. C2H4, and steam over an acid catalyst (to speed up the reaction). The gas-phase reaction is Use bond enthalpies (Table 9.5) to estimate the enthalpy change for this reaction when 37.0 g of ethyl alcohol is produced.arrow_forward

Which resonance structures are the most important?arrow_forwardBond Enthalpy When atoms of the hypothetical element X are placed together, they rapidly undergo reaction to form the X2 molecule: X(g)+X(g)X2(g) a Would you predict that this reaction is exothermic or endothermic? Explain. b Is the bond enthalpy of X2 a positive or a negative quantity? Why? c Suppose H for the reaction is 500 kJ/mol. Estimate the bond enthalpy of the X2 molecule. d Another hypothetical molecular compound, Y2(g), has a bond enthalpy of 750 kJ/mol, and the molecular compound XY(g) has a bond enthalpy of 1500 kJ/mol. Using bond enthalpy information, calculate H for the following reaction. X2(g)+Y2(g)2XY(g) e Given the following information, as well as the information previously presented, predict whether or not the hypothetical ionic compound AX is likely to form. In this compound, A forms the A+ cation, and X forms the X anion. Be sure to justify your answer. Reaction: A(g)+12X2(g)AX(s)The first ionization energy of A(g) is 400 kJ/mol.

- Compare your answers from parts a and b of Exercise 69 of Chapter 3 with H values calculated for each reaction using standard enthalpies of formation in Appendix 4. Do enthalpy changes calculated from bond energies give a reasonable estimate of the actual values?arrow_forwardThe bond energy for a CH bond is about 413 kJ/mol in CH4 but 380 kJ/mol in CHBr3. Although these values are relatively close in magnitude, they are different. Explain why they are different. Does the fact that the bond energy is lower in CHBr3, make any sense? Why?arrow_forwardHydrogenation reactions, which involve the addition of H2 to a molecule, are widely used in industry to transform one compound into another. For example, 1-butene (C4H8) is converted to butane (C4H10) by addition of H2. Use the bond dissociation enthalpies in Table 8.8 to estimate the enthalpy change for this hydrogenation reaction.arrow_forward
