Question
Chapter 20, Problem 2PS
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
From the given bonds, the bond that requires more energy to break should be determined.
Concept introduction:
To break bond, energy is always required and energy is released when a bond is made. Bond energy is the measure of bond strength in a chemical bond.it is the amount of energy required to break a bond between two atoms in a diatomic molecule.
When a bond is strong there is higher bond energy because it takes more energy to break a strong bond and if the distance between the atoms in a bond is shorter, then more energy will be required to break that bond.

What is the greenhouse effect? How does the excess CO2 gas in the atmosphere cause the greenhouse effect?
Wine open to the air turns sour over time due to oxidation of ethanol (molar mass 46 g/mole)
to acetic acid (molar mass 60.0 g/mole). The reactions are shown by these two equations.
2C,H,OH(aq) + O2(g)
2CH;CHO(aq) + 0,(g)
2CH,CHO(aq) + 2н,0()
2CH;COOH(aq)
If there is a 40.0% yield for the first step and a 40.0% yield for the second step, how many
grams of acetic can are produced if you start with 16.00 g of ethanol?
A) 2.23
B) 3.34 g
