Chapter 4, Problem 104AE
Alcohol-based fuels for automobiles lead to the production of formaldehyde (CH2O) in exhaust gases. Formaldehyde undergoes photodissociation, which contributes to photochemical smog:
CH2O + hv → CHO + H
The maximum
- In what part of the
electromagnetic spectrum is light with this wavelength found? - What is the maximum strength of a bond, in kJ/mol, that can be broken by absorption of a photon of 335-nm light?
- Compare you answer from part (b) to the appropriate value from Table 8.3. What do you conclude about C-H bond energy in formaldehyde?
- Write out the formaldehyde photodissociation reaction, showing Lewis-dot structures.

The compound on the left of this equation is a colorless
liquid that boils at 67.1°C. Its vapor, when heated to
about 100°C, turns brown as the product of the reaction
forms. Suppose that, in a sample of the vapor, the intensity
of the brown color doubles between 100°C and 110°C
and that the total pressure increases only by the 2.7%
predicted for an ideal gas. Estimate AH° for the preceding
reaction.
1. Draw Lewis structures for ozone and for dioxygen. Using the data given below, qualitatively
compare the bond enthalpies, bond orders, and bond lengths of these two compounds.

Sodium fluoroacetate (NaO2C2H2F) is a common poison used in New
Zealand to control invasive species, such as rats. It can be prepared
by the substitution of a C-CI bond in sodium chloroacetate
(NaO2C2H2CI) for a C-F bond. What is the approximate enthalpy
change for this substitution reaction on a 5.000 mole sample, based
on the following bond energies?
C-CI = 339.0 kJ/mol
C-F = 485.0 kJ/mol
