Chapter 5, Problem 56P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It should be determined that the number of alkenes used to prepare methylcyclopentane by hydrogenation process.

Concept introduction:

  • The amount of heat released in a hydrogenation reaction is known as heat of hydrogenation(ΔH0).
  • The most stable alkene has the smallest heat of hydrogenation.
  • The stability of an alkene increases as the number of alkyl substituents bonded to its sp2 carbon increases.
  • The stability of an alkene increases as the number of hydrogen bonded to its sp2 carbon decreases.
    • Catalytic hydrogenation is the process of addition of hydrogen to a compound in the presence of a catalyst.  The most common metal catalyst is palladium, which is used as a powder absorbed on charcoal to maximize its surface area.  The metal catalyst is required to weaken the very strong HH bond.
    • A meso compound is a molecule with multiple stereocentres that is super imposable on its mirror image.

Using reaction free energy to predict equilibrium composition Consider the following equilibrium: 2NH3 (g) = N2 (g) +3H₂ —N2 (g) AGº = 34. kJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 4.19 atm of ammonia (NH3) and 9.94 atm of nitrogen (N2) at 378. °C. Answer the following questions about this system: rise Under these conditions, will the pressure of NH 3 tend to rise or fall? ☐ x10 fall Х Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding H₂? In other words, if you said the pressure of NH 3 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding H₂? Similarly, if you said the pressure of NH3 will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding H₂? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of H₂ needed to reverse it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. yes no atm 00. 18 Ar 무ㅎ ?
Identifying the major species in weak acid or weak base equilibria The preparations of two aqueous solutions are described in the table below. For each solution, write the chemical formulas of the major species present at equilibrium. You can leave out water itself. Write the chemical formulas of the species that will act as acids in the 'acids' row, the formulas of the species that will act as bases in the 'bases' row, and the formulas of the species that will act as neither acids nor bases in the 'other' row. You will find it useful to keep in mind that HF is a weak acid. 2.2 mol of NaOH is added to 1.0 L of a 1.4M HF solution. acids: П bases: Х other: ☐ ப acids: 0.51 mol of KOH is added to 1.0 L of a solution that is bases: 1.3M in both HF and NaF. other: ☐ 00. 18 Ar
