Picture of the problem is also included with formulas to use. This is all there is provided for the question. Thank you Problem 4The following chemical reaction can be used to convert furfural (C5H4O2) into methyl-tetrahydrofuran(C5H10O, methyl-THF):4 H2(g) + C5H4O2(l) −−→ C5H10O(l) + H2O(l) (2)4a. Use the following information to calculate ∆H◦rxn and ∆U◦rxn for the above reaction (all at298 K): \C5H4O2(l) + 5 O2(g) −−→ 5CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) (∆H◦1 = −2344 kJ/mol)C5H10O(l) + 7 O2(g) −−→ 5CO2(g) + 5 H2O(l) (∆H◦2 = −3122 kJ/mol)H2(g) + 12O2(g) −−→ H2O(l) (∆H◦3 = −286 kJ/mol)4b. The above reaction is of interest for renewable fuel production. Furfural can be readilyobtained from renewable sources by dry distillation of biomass (wood, etc) but is poorlystable on exposure to air. Conversion to methyl-THF results in a more stable compound thatis suitable as a motor fuel.Suppose the reaction is to be run on a large scale in a chemical plant. Will it require heatingor cooling in order to maintain a constant reaction temperature? Briefly justify your answer.

Problem 4 The following chemical reaction can be used to convert furfural (C5H4O2 ) into methyl-tetrahydrofuran (C5H10O, methyl-THF): 4 H2 (g) + C5H4O2 (l) −−→ C5H10O(l) + H2O(l) (2) 4a. Use the following information to calculate ∆H◦ rxn and ∆U ◦ rxn for the above reaction (all at 298 K): \ C5H4O2 (l) + 5 O2 (g) −−→ 5CO2 (g) + 2 H2O(l) (∆H ◦ 1 = −2344 kJ/mol) C5H10O(l) + 7 O2 (g) −−→ 5CO2 (g) + 5 H2O(l) (∆H ◦ 2 = −3122 kJ/mol) H2 (g) + 1 2O2 (g) −−→ H2O(l) (∆H ◦ 3 = −286 kJ/mol) 4b. The above reaction is of interest for renewable fuel production. Furfural can be readily obtained from renewable sources by dry distillation of biomass (wood, etc) but is poorly stable on exposure to air. Conversion to methyl-THF results in a more stable compound that is suitable as a motor fuel. Suppose the reaction is to be run on a large scale in a chemical plant. Will it require heating or cooling in order to maintain a constant reaction temperature? Briefly justify your answer.
Definition Definition Transformation of a chemical species into another chemical species. A chemical reaction consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new ones by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
