(a)
Interpretation:
An energy diagram for an exothermic reaction withhigh activation energy should be constructed.
Concept introduction:
The energy changes which occur during the conversion can be manipulated diagrammatically. This diagrammatic version is called as energy diagrams.
(b)
Interpretation:
An energy diagram for a reaction having low activation energy and positive change in enthalpy should be constructed.
Concept introduction:
The energy changes which occur during the conversion can be manipulated diagrammatically. This diagrammatic version is called as energy diagrams.
(c)
Interpretation:
An energy diagram for a fast reaction
with products at lower energy than reactants should be constructed.
Concept introduction:
The energy changes which occur during the conversion can be manipulated diagrammatically. This diagrammatic version is called as energy diagrams.

- Define each of the following terms: a. heat b. energy c. work d. system e. surroundings f. exothermic reaction g. endothermic reaction h. enthalpy of reaction i. kinetic energy j. potential energyarrow_forward4.4 Automobile exhaust often contains traces of formaldehyde (CH2O), which is another possible product of incomplete combustion. Write a balanced equation for the formation of formaldehyde during the combustion of octane. (Water will also be formed as a product.)arrow_forwardThe equation for the combustion of 2 mol of butane can be written 2C4H10(g)+O2(g)8CO2(g)+10H2O(g);HO Which of the following produces the least heat? a Burning 1 mol of butane. b Reacting 1 mol of oxygen with excess butane. c Burning enough butane to produce 1 mol of carbon dioxide. d Burning enough butane to produce 1 mol of water. e All of the above reactions (a, b, c, and d) produce the same amount of heat.arrow_forward
- 4.1 List at least two factors that make it difficult to describe the combustion of gasoline accurately. What assumption can be made to address these complications?arrow_forward. A(n) _______ speeds up a reaction without being consumed.arrow_forward4.61 What is actually measured by the octane ratings of different grades of gasoline?arrow_forward
- 4.60 Why are fuel additives used?arrow_forwardHow much heat, in kilojoules, must be removed to decrease the temperature of a 20.0-g bar of aluminum from 34.2 C to 22.5 C? (See Table 5.1 for the specific heat of aluminum.) TABLE 5.1 Specific Heats of Some Common Substancesarrow_forwardEnthalpy a A 100.-g sample of water is placed in an insulated container and allowed to come to room temperature at 21C. To heat the water sample to 41C, how much heat must you add to it? b Consider the hypothetical reaction,2X(aq)+Y(l)X2Y(aq)being run in an insulated container that contains 100. g of solution. If the temperature of the solution changes from 21C to 31C, how much heat does the chemical reaction produce? How does this answer compare with that in part a? (You can assume that this solution is so dilute that it has the same heat capacity as pure water.) c If you wanted the temperature of 100. g of this solution to increase from 21C to 51C, how much heat would you have to add to it? (Try to answer this question without using a formula.) d If you had added 0.02 mol of X and 0.01 mol of Y to form the solution in part b, how many moles of X and Y would you need to bring about the temperature change described in part c. e Judging on the basis of your answers so far, what is the enthalpy of the reaction 2X(aq) + Y(l) X2Y(aq)?arrow_forward
- What is the following diagram representing? Energy of products Activation energy Heat of reaction Energy of reactants Progress of reaction exothermic reaction, heat is released endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed exothermic reaction, heat is absorbed endothermic reaction, heat is released Energy O 0 00arrow_forwardWhat is an exothermic reaction? The energy of the reactants is lower than the energy of the products. Absorbs energy in the form of heat. The energy of the reactants is lower than the energy of the products. Releases energy in the form of heat. The energy of the reactants is higher than the energy of the products. Releases energy in the form of heat. The energy of the reactants is higher than the energy of the products. Absorbs energy in the form of heat.arrow_forwardThe energy of the reactants is shown on the energy diagram above. On the right side of the energy diagram, draw a horizontal line segment to indicate the energy of the products. Draw a vertical line segment to indicate ΔH for the reaction, and label it with the correct value. (see attached image)arrow_forward
