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 …

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 energ…

Textbook Question

Chapter 17.3, Problem 17.8.2PE

Acetylene (C₂H₂) and nitrogen (N₂) both contain a triple bond, but they differ greatly in their chemical properties.
a. Write the Lewis structures for the two substances.
b. By referring to Appendix C, look up the enthalpies of formation of acetylene and nitrogen. Which compound is more stable?
c. Write balanced chemical equations for the complete oxidation ofN₂ to form N₂0₅(g) and of acetylene to form C0₂(g) and H₂0(g).
d. Calculate the enthalpy of oxidation per mole for N₂ and for C₂H₂ (the enthalpy of formation of N₂0₅(g) is 11.30k.J/m01).
e. Both N₂and C₂H₂ possess triple bonds with quite high bond enthalpies
(Table 8.3 C).
Calculate the enthalpy of hydrogenation per mole for both compounds:acetylene plus 1-12 to make methane, CH₄; nitrogen plus H₂ to make ammonia, NH₃.

For the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.
