2) Using bond energies, verify that the complete combustion
of ethene gas, C2 H4 (g) (H2C = CH2), to gaseous carbon
dioxide and the water is an exothermic reaction.
Use the following table of bond energies to calculate the enthalpy of combustion (in kJ) of acetylene (C₂H₂) gas in oxygen, based on the following chemical equation: C₂H₂(g) + 2.5O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)
Although carbon has four bonds in stable molecules, sometimes reactive carbon intermediates that contain carbon atoms without four bonds are formed for very short time periods. Examples of these unstable intermediates include the methyl carbocation (CH 3) + and the methyl carbanion (CH 3) −. Draw Lewis structures for both unstable ions and predict the shape around carbon.
