- What is the likelihood that hydrogen (H2) will become a widely used fuel and that the hydrogen economy will become a reality? In particular, what are the advantages and disadvantages of H2 as a fuel? What would be necessary for a significant conversion to a hydrogen economy?arrow_forwardComparing the chemistry of carbon and silicon. (a) Write balanced chemical equations for the reactions of H2O() with CH4 (forming CO2 and H2) and SiH4 (forming SiO2 and H2). (b) Using thermodynamic data, calculate the standard free energy change for the reactions in (a). Is either reaction product-favored at equilibrium? (c) Look up the electronegativities of carbon, silicon, and hydrogen. What conclusion can you draw concerning the polarity of CH and SiH bonds? (d) Carbon and silicon compounds with the formulas (CH3)2CO (acetone) and [(CH3)2SiO]n (a silicone polymer) also have quite different structures. Draw Lewis structures for these species. This difference, along with the difference between structures of CO2 and SiO2, suggests a general observation about silicon compounds. Based on that observation, do you expect that a silicon compound with a structure similar to ethene (C2H4) exists?arrow_forwardFrom data in Appendix 4, calculate H, S, and G for each of the following reactions at 25C. a.
