If the following reaction is given: C2H5F + Cl2 C2H4Cl2 + HF 151kJ mole || AHran If the bond energy for C-H is 414 kJ/ mole, the bond energy for C-C is 347 kJ/mole, the bond energy for C-Cl is 377 kJ/ mole, the bond energy for Cl-Cl is 243 kJ/ mole, the bond energy for C-F is 450 kJ/mole and the done energy for H-Cl is 431 kJ/ mole, determine the bond energy for the H-F bond in kJ/ mole. Give your answer as a positive value as all energies for bond values should be written in terms of a positive value (the energy needed to break the bond = endothermic)
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 occur as a result of reactions or chemical changes in a substance.
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 energy during the course of the reaction. So, exothermic reaction is one type of exergonic reaction. Exergonic reaction releases work energy in different forms like heat, light or sound. For example, a glow stick releases light making that an exergonic reaction and not an exothermic reaction since no heat is released. Even endothermic reactions at very high temperature are exergonic.
