Concept Introduction:
Enthalpy of reaction:
The enthalpy of a reaction is calculated by subtracting the heat of formation of reactatns from heat of formation of products.
Exothermic and Endothermic Reaction:
Exothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is given out to the surrounding from the system.
Endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is gained by the system from the surrounding.

- Data are given in Appendix 1 for white phosphorus, P4(s). P4(g) has the following thermodynamic values: Hf=58.9kJ/mol , S=280.0J/kmol . What is the temperature at which white phosphorus sublimes at 1 atm pressure?arrow_forwardComparing the chemistry of carbon and silicon. (a) Write balanced chemical equations for the reactions of H2O() with CH4 (forming CO2 and H2) and SiH4 (forming SiO2 and H2). (b) Using thermodynamic data, calculate the standard free energy change for the reactions in (a). Is either reaction product-favored at equilibrium? (c) Look up the electronegativities of carbon, silicon, and hydrogen. What conclusion can you draw concerning the polarity of CH and SiH bonds? (d) Carbon and silicon compounds with the formulas (CH3)2CO (acetone) and [(CH3)2SiO]n (a silicone polymer) also have quite different structures. Draw Lewis structures for these species. This difference, along with the difference between structures of CO2 and SiO2, suggests a general observation about silicon compounds. Based on that observation, do you expect that a silicon compound with a structure similar to ethene (C2H4) exists?arrow_forwardWhen boron hydrides burn in air, the reactions are very exothermic (a) Write a balanced equation for the combustion of B5H9(g) in air to give B2O3(s) and H2O(g).
