Question
Chapter 20.5, Problem 2RC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: It should be determined for the following fuel provides the greatest amount of energy per gram.
Concept Introduction:
A fuel having higher calorific values is considered to be a good fuel.
Hydrogen gas has the highest calorific value of 150 KJ/g among all the fuels.
So the Hydrogen as is considers be an extremely good fuel.
But however, hydrogen gas is not used as a fuel in homes and industries.

Consider the following chemical equilibrium:
2SO2(g) + O2(g) = 2SO3(g)
•
Write the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction.
Now compare it to the equilibrium constant expression for the related reaction:

.
1
SO2(g) + O2(g) = SO3(g)
2
How do these two equilibrium expressions differ?
What important principle about the dependence of equilibrium constants on the stoichiometry of a
reaction can you learn from this comparison?
Given Kp for 2 reactions. Find the Kp for the following reaction:
BrCl(g)+ 1/2 I2(g) ->IBr(g) + 1/2 Cl2(g)
For a certain gas-phase reaction at constant pressure, the equilibrium constant Kp is observed to double
when the temperature increases from 300 K to 400 K.
Calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, Ah, using this information.

- Hydrogen bonding in water plays a key role in its physical properties. Assume that the energy required to break a hydrogen bond is approximately 8 kJ/mol. Consider a simplified two-state model where a "formed" hydrogen bond is in the ground state and a "broken" bond is in the excited state. Using this model: • Calculate the fraction of broken hydrogen bonds at T = 300 K, and also at T = 273 K and T = 373 K. • At what temperature would approximately 50% of the hydrogen bonds be broken? • What does your result imply about the accuracy or limitations of the two-state model in describing hydrogen bonding in water? Finally, applying your understanding: • Would you expect it to be easier or harder to vaporize water at higher temperatures? Why?
