Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 5QAP
This textbook provides a specific definition of chemistry: the study of the materials of which the universe is made and the transformations that these materials undergo. Obviously, such a general definition has to be very broad and nonspecific. From your point of view al this lime, how wouldyoudefine chemistry? In your mind, what are “chemicals”? What do “chemists” do?

Q2. Consider the hydrogenation of ethylene
C2H4 + H2 = C2H6
The heats of combustion and molar entropies for the three gases at 298 K are given by:
C2H4
C2H6
H2
AH comb/kJ mol¹
-1395
-1550
-243
Sº / J K¹ mol-1
220.7
230.4
131.1
The average heat capacity change, ACP, for the reaction over the temperature range 298-1000 K is
10.9 J K¹ mol¹. Using these data, determine:
(a) the standard enthalpy change at 800 K
(b) the standard entropy change at 800 K
(c) the equilibrium constant at 800 K.
