Concept explainers
Interpretation: It should be identified that whether given reaction is an endothermic or exothermic step using bond enthalpy data.
Concept Introduction:
Exothermic reaction: Reaction is considered as exothermic if it releases energy in the form of heat.
Endothermic reaction: The reaction which requires energy and absorbs in order to complete the reaction.
Bond Dissociation Enthalpy
The reaction enthalpy change determined by using the following equation,

- Draw Lewis electron dot structures for CH3Cl (methyl chloride, a topical anesthetic), H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide, with an O-O bond), and NH2OH (with an N-O bond).arrow_forwardComplete and balance the following combustion reactions. Assume that each hydrocarbon is converted completely to carbon dioxide and water. (a) Propane + O2 (b) Octane + O2 (c) Cyclohexane + O2 (d) 2-Methylpentane + O2arrow_forwardFormation of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen is an exothermic process. Which of the following statements is true about the bonds that are broken and formed during this reaction? N2(g) + 3H2(g) ---> 2NH3(g) a.) products have lower PE because product bonds are weaker than reactants b.) products have higher PE because product bonds are stronger than reactants c.) products have higher PE because product bonds are weaker than reactants d.) products have lower PE because product bonds are stronger than reactantsarrow_forward
- 1A1: Integrate existing knowledge of ionic/covalent bonding, lone pairs, formal charge, valence, and Lewis structures to generate chemically-correct organic building blocks. Examine the given line-angle structure and redraw it, correcting all errors of structure (bonding, lone pairs, formal charge, valence, and the octet rule). 14 H3C.

Use Lewis structures and bond ener-gies to determine ΔH°ᵣₓₙ for HCN(g)+2H₂(g)→CH₃NH₂(g)arrow_forwardA student adds bromine solution to a test tube containing an isomer of C3H6. After shaking the sample and exposing it to UV light, the student observes that the colour of the bromine solution changes from orange to clear. Provide a hypothesis for what happened in the test tube. What do you believe to be the structure of the original isomer, and what was the final product, if a reaction occurred?arrow_forward

Propane, C3H8, is a hydrocarbon that is commonly used as a fuel. (a) Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of propane gas. (b) Calculate the volume of air at 25 °C and 1.00 atmosphere that is needed to completely combust 25.0 grams of propane. Assume that air is 21.0 percent O2 by volume. (Hint: We will see how to do this calculation in a later chapter on gases—for now use the information that 1.00 L of air at 25 °C and 1.00 atm contains 0.275 g of O2 per liter.) (c) The heat of combustion of propane is −2,219.2 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat of formation, ΔH∘fΔHf° of propane given that ΔH∘fΔHf° of H2O(l) = −285.8 kJ/mol and ΔH∘fΔHf° of CO2(g) = −393.5 kJ/mol. (d) Assuming that all of the heat released in burning 25.0 grams of propane is transferred to 4.00 kilograms of water, calculate the increase in temperature of the water.arrow_forward
