A commercial process for preparing ethanol, C,H50H(9) , involves the process of passing ethylene gas, C„H4(9), and steam, H,0(9) over a catalyst (to increase the reaction rate). The reaction is given below: + H,0 -H, H-ċ- AHpn = kJ H ÓH a) Use Bond Energies to calculate the change in enthalpy (AHxn) for this reaction: Bond Bond Energies C-C 346 kJ/mol C=C 602 kJ/mol C-H 411 kJ/mol C-O 358 kJ/mol O-H 459 kJ/mol AHxn = E B.E. (bonds broken) - E B.E. (bonds formed) • The sum of the Bond Energies Broken: [ Select ] v kJ • The sum of the Bond Energies Formed: [ Select) kJ • Enthalpy of Reaction(AHxn) (from Bond Energies): [ Select ] kJ b) Use the Heats of Formation (AH÷ °) to calculate the change in enthalpy (AHxn) for this reaction: ΔΗ.-Σ (n. ΔΗ ') productsΣ (n ο Δ Η; )reactants CH4(9) A HĘ ° = + 52.47 kJ/mol A H ° = - 241.8 kJ/mol C„H5OH(@) A H¢ ° = - 235.1 kJ/mol • Enthalpy of Reaction(AHxn) (from Heats of Formation ): [ Select ] v kJ
Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that occur as a result of reactions or chemical changes in a substance.
Exergonic Reaction
The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energy during the course of the reaction. So, exothermic reaction is one type of exergonic reaction. Exergonic reaction releases work energy in different forms like heat, light or sound. For example, a glow stick releases light making that an exergonic reaction and not an exothermic reaction since no heat is released. Even endothermic reactions at very high temperature are exergonic.
