Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The enthalpy change for the following reaction should be determined.

2C(s)+H2(g)C2H2(g)

Concept Introduction:

Enthalpy of a reaction is a state function thus; change in enthalpy of a reaction does not depend on the path of the reaction.

The change in enthalpy is same if the same reaction takes place in one step or series of steps. This is known as Hess’s law. There are following characteristics of change in enthalpy which are important to calculate the change in enthalpy of a reaction using Hess’s law.

  1. For a reversed reaction, the sign of enthalpy changes of the reaction also reversed.
  2. If any reactant or product is multiplied by any integer in the chemical reaction, enthalpy change of that reactant or product is also multiplied by the same integer.

20. The Brusselator. This hypothetical system was first proposed by a group work- ing in Brussels [see Prigogine and Lefever (1968)] in connection with spatially nonuniform chemical patterns. Because certain steps involve trimolecular reac tions, it is not a model of any real chemical system but rather a prototype that has been studied extensively. The reaction steps are A-X. B+X-Y+D. 2X+ Y-3X, X-E. 305 It is assumed that concentrations of A, B, D, and E are kept artificially con stant so that only X and Y vary with time. (a) Show that if all rate constants are chosen appropriately, the equations de scribing a Brusselator are: dt A-(B+ 1)x + x²y, dy =Bx-x²y. di
