Concept explainers

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…

Textbook Question

Chapter 9, Problem 9.151MP

Phosgene, C O C I 2 ( g ) , is a toxic gas used as an agent of war-fare in World War I.
(a) Draw an electron-dot structure for phosgene.
(b) Using the table of bond dissociation energies (Table 9.3)and the value Δ H ° f = 716.7 kJ/mol for C(g), estimate Δ H ° f for C O C I 2 ( g ) at 25 °C. Compare your answer to the actual Δ H ° f given in Appendix B, and explain why your calculation is only an estimate.

Formula Formula Bond dissociation energy (BDE) is the energy required to break a bond, making it an endothermic process. BDE is calculated for a particular bond and therefore consists of fragments such as radicals since it undergoes homolytic bond cleavage. For the homolysis of a X-Y molecule, the energy of bond dissociation is calculated as the difference in the total enthalpy of formation for the reactants and products. X-Y → X + Y BDE = Δ H f X + Δ H f Y – Δ H f X-Y where, ΔHf is the heat of formation.
