- Bond Enthalpy When atoms of the hypothetical element X are placed together, they rapidly undergo reaction to form the X2 molecule: X(g)+X(g)X2(g) a Would you predict that this reaction is exothermic or endothermic? Explain. b Is the bond enthalpy of X2 a positive or a negative quantity? Why? c Suppose H for the reaction is 500 kJ/mol. Estimate the bond enthalpy of the X2 molecule. d Another hypothetical molecular compound, Y2(g), has a bond enthalpy of 750 kJ/mol, and the molecular compound XY(g) has a bond enthalpy of 1500 kJ/mol. Using bond enthalpy information, calculate H for the following reaction. X2(g)+Y2(g)2XY(g) e Given the following information, as well as the information previously presented, predict whether or not the hypothetical ionic compound AX is likely to form. In this compound, A forms the A+ cation, and X forms the X anion. Be sure to justify your answer. Reaction: A(g)+12X2(g)AX(s)The first ionization energy of A(g) is 400 kJ/mol. The electron affinity of X(g) is 525 kJ/mol. The lattice energy of AX(s) is 100 kJ/mol. f If you predicted that no ionic compound would form from the reaction in Part e, what minimum amount of AX(s) lattice energy might lead to compound formation?arrow_forward26. When a mixture of hydrogen and bromine is maintained at normal atmospheric pressure and heated above 200°C in a closed container, the hydrogen and bromine react to form hydrogen bromide and a gas-phase equilibrium is established. a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the equilibrium reaction. b) Use bond enthalpies to estimate the enthalpy change for the reaction. c) Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), which is more important in determining the position of this equilibrium, the entropy effect or the energy effect? d) In which direction will the equilibrium shift as the temperature increases above 200°C? Explain. e) Suppose that the pressure were increased to triple its initial value. In which direction would the equilibrium shift? f) Why is the equilibrium not established at room temperature?arrow_forwardConsider the reaction 2 S(g) + 3 O2(g) → 2 SO3(g). Using the standard enthalpies of formation listed in Appendix G of your text and the bond energy of 498.4 kJ/mol in molecular oxygen, calculate the average sulfur-oxygen bond energy, in units of kJ/mol, in sulfur trioxide gas. The answer is not 380/381.arrow_forward

Sulphur reacts with oxygen to form sulphur trioxide through sulphur monoxide and sulphur dioxide. Sulphur trioxide reacts with water to form sulphuric acid. Balance the equations for the above and draw the Lewis structures for each of the oxides and the acid. next pagearrow_forwardTHIS is the equation N2H4 + O2 → N2 + H2O PLEASE HELP AND LOOK AT THE PICTURE FOR DATA PLEASE HELP! I REALLY NEED HELP BECAUSE MY TEACHER HASENT TAUGHT ME HOW TO DO THIS PLEASE HELP!!!!! Balance the equation (if not already balanced) Draw the models of the molecules in the equation, using Lewis structures, ball and stick models or something else that represents each of the atoms and how they are connected. Identify bonds being formed or broken. Use bond energy values from below to Calculate the overall energy of the reaction. Determine if the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. Draw a potential energy diagram showing the ∆H, reactants and products. Create one example of mass (g) to mass (g) stoichiometry problem.arrow_forward
- Hydrazine, N2H4, burns in oxygen as follows: N2H4 + O2 → N2 + 2H2O [The bond energies in kJ/mol are: N-H = 388; N-N 163; N≡N 944; O-H 463; O=O 496] Draw the chemical structures of the reactants and products and give the formula to calculate enthalpy change in a reaction, ΔH.arrow_forwardConsider the Lewis structure for SO2.
