Chapter 18, Problem 18.16E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The value of qelect for He2 at 4.2K is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The point at which the bond between the two atoms become nonexistent thus the molecule exists as two separated atoms are known as dissociation limit. The relation between D0 and De is given by the formula,

D0=De12hv

Where,

D0 represents dissociation energy.

h is the Plank’s constant.

v is vibrational frequency.

De is the minimum potential energy of ground electronic state with respect to the zero points.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether it is expected that He2 exist at room temperature (300K) or not is to be stated. The explanation corresponding to the answer is to be stated.

Consider the reaction 2 S(g) + 3 O2(g) → 2 SO3(g). Using the standard enthalpies of formation listed in Appendix G of your text and the bond energy of 498.4 kJ/mol in molecular oxygen, calculate the average sulfur-oxygen bond energy, in units of kJ/mol, in sulfur trioxide gas.
Consider the reaction 2 S(g) + 3 O2(g) → 2 SO3(g). Using the standard enthalpies of formation listed in Appendix G of your text and the bond energy of 498.4 kJ/mol in molecular oxygen, calculate the average sulfur-oxygen bond energy, in units of kJ/mol, in sulfur trioxide gas. The answer is not 380/381.
With reference to the “Chemistry Put to Work” box on explosives, (a) use bond enthalpies to estimate the enthalpy change for the explosion of 1.00 g of nitroglycerin. (b) Write a balanced equation for the decomposition of TNT. Assume that, upon explosion, TNT decomposes into N2(g), CO2(g), H2O(g), and C(s).
