Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The approximate enthalpy change for the following reaction has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The
The equation that describes the bond dissociation for
Bond energies are always endothermic and have a positive sign. It takes energy to break a bond.
The enthalpy of reaction can be determined by the sum of the bond dissociation energies of all the reactants minus the sum of the bond dissociation energies of all products present in
The equation to calculate enthalpy of reaction is as follows:
Negative sign in the equation depicts that bonds will form in the products. It is an exothermic process, so the energy charge is the negative of bond energy.

- 10. You're preparing for a camping trip. you see two different stoves you can pack for your trip to do all your cooking. Which fuel would you prefer to carry? One stove uses fuel propane. The other stove uses naphtha (hexane) fuel. Start by writing a balanced combustion equation for both of these reactions. Use either standard enthalpies of formation or bond energies to determine the enthalpy changes for the combustion of these two fuels. Then suggest which stove, the one that uses propane or the one that uses naphtha, would you recommend to pack for your camping trip? Explain. (You may need more space for your response).arrow_forwardCarbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties? The key difference is that diamonds have other elements bonded within their structure. The differences are explained by the number of covalent and ionic bonds within each substance. The differences are explained by the density: graphite is very high and diamond is much lower. The differences are explained by how the carbon atoms within each substance are covalently bonded together.arrow_forwardusing the delta H reaction equation and standard enthalpies of formation, calculate the enthalpy change of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water that occurs in the presence of lightarrow_forward
