Isomers are molecules with the same elemental composition but a different atomic arrangement. Three isomers with the formula C4H8 are shown in the models below. The enthalpy of combustion (ΔcH°) of each isomer, determined using a calorimeter, is as follows:
- (a) Draw an energy level diagram relating the energy content of the three isomers to the energy content of the combustion products, CO2(g) and H2O(ℓ).
- (b) Use the ΔcH° data in part (a), along with the enthalpies of formation of CO2(g) and H2O(ℓ) from Appendix L, to calculate the enthalpy of formation for each of the isomers.
- (c) Draw an energy level diagram that relates the enthalpies of formation of the three isomers to the energy of the elements in their standard states.
- (d) What is the enthalpy change for the conversion of cis-2-butene to trans-2-butene?
