The average bond enthalpies of the C¬F and C¬Cl bonds are 485 kJ/mol and 328 kJ/mol, respectively. Given the fact that O2, N2, and O in the upper atmosphere absorb most of the light with wavelengths shorter than 240 nm, would you expect the photodissociation of C ¬ F bonds to be significant in the lower atmosphere?
The breaking of the O-O bond in peroxydisulfuryl
difluoride (FO,SOOSO,F) gives FO,SO:
(FO2SO)2 2 2 FO2SO
The compound on the left of this equation is a colorless
liquid that boils at 67.1°C. Its vapor, when heated to
about 100°C, turns brown as the product of the reaction
forms. Suppose that, in a sample of the vapor, the intensity
of the brown color doubles between 100°C and 110°C
and that the total pressure increases only by the 2.7%
predicted for an ideal gas. Estimate AH° for the preceding
reaction.

- Because carbon and silicon are both elements in group 14 on the periodic table, we expect them to react with other elements in similar ways. To some extent, they do, but in some cases, carbon and silicon compounds that seem to have analogous structures have very different chemical characteristics. For example, carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, is very stable in the presence of water, but silicon tetrachloride, SiCl4, reacts quickly with water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is SiCl4 + H2O → Si(OH)4 + HCl Balance this equation. Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of SiCl4 and moles of H2O. How many moles of SiCl4 react with 24 moles of water? Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of Si(OH)4 and moles of water.
