Explanation (a) For fluorine Δ H r x n for the reaction can be found as follows: Δ H r x n = Δ H B o n d s b r o k e n + Δ H B o n d s f o r m e d Δ H B o n d s b r o k e n = 4 [ H C − H ] + 2 [ H C − C ] + [ H F − F ] = 4 × 414 + 2 × 347 + 159 = 2509 kJ / m o l Δ H B o n d s F o r m e d = 4 [ H C − H ] + 2 [ H C − F ] = − [ 4 × 414 + 2 × 552 ] = − 2760 kJ / m o l Therefore, Δ H r x n = Δ H B o n d s b r o k e n + Δ H B o n d s f o r m e d = 2509 − 2760 = − 251 kJ / m o l (b) For chlorine Δ H r x n for the reaction can be found as follows: Δ H r x n = Δ H B o n d s b r o k e n + Δ H B o n d s f o r m e d Δ H B o n d s b r o k e n = 4 [ H C − H ] + 2 [ H C − C ] + [ H Cl − Cl ] = 4 × 414 + 2 × 347 + 243 = 2593 kJ / m o l Δ H B o n d s F o r m e d = 4 [ H C − H ] + 2 [ H C − Cl ] = − [ 4 × 414 + 2 × 339 ] = − 2334 kJ / m o l Therefore, Δ H r x n = Δ H B o n d s b r o k e n + Δ H B o n d s f o r m e d = 2593 − 2334 = 2 5 9 k J / m o l</

Thermochemistry

Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that …

Exergonic Reaction

The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energ…
