Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
An energy diagram for an endothermic reaction with high activation energy should be constructed.
Concept introduction:
The energy changes which occur during the conversion can be manipulated diagrammatically. This diagrammatic version is called as energy diagrams.
(b)
Interpretation:
An energy diagram for a reaction having low activation energy and negative change in enthalpy should be constructed.
Concept introduction:
The energy changes which occur during the conversion can be manipulated diagrammatically. This diagrammatic version is called as energy diagrams.
(c)
Interpretation:
An energy diagram for a slow reaction having lower energy of products than reactants should be constructed.
Concept introduction:
The energy changes which occur during the conversion can be manipulated diagrammatically. This diagrammatic version is called as energy diagrams.

- Define each of the following terms: a. heat b. energy c. work d. system e. surroundings f. exothermic reaction g. endothermic reaction h. enthalpy of reaction i. kinetic energy j. potential energyarrow_forwardInsoluble AgCl(s) precipitates when solutions of AgNO3(aq) and NaCl(aq) are mixed. AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) rH = ? To measure the energy evolved in this reaction, 250. mL of 0.16 M AgNO3(aq) and 125 mL of 0.32 M NaCl(aq) are mixed in a coffee-cup calorimeter. The temperature of the mixture rises from 21.15 C to 22.90 C. Calculate the enthalpy change for the precipitation of AgCl(s), in kJ/mol. (Assume the density of the solution is 1.0 g/mL and its specific heat capacity is 4.2 J/g K.)arrow_forward4.60 Why are fuel additives used?arrow_forward
- Enthalpy a A 100.-g sample of water is placed in an insulated container and allowed to come to room temperature at 21C. To heat the water sample to 41C, how much heat must you add to it? b Consider the hypothetical reaction,2X(aq)+Y(l)X2Y(aq)being run in an insulated container that contains 100. g of solution. If the temperature of the solution changes from 21C to 31C, how much heat does the chemical reaction produce? How does this answer compare with that in part a? (You can assume that this solution is so dilute that it has the same heat capacity as pure water.) c If you wanted the temperature of 100. g of this solution to increase from 21C to 51C, how much heat would you have to add to it? (Try to answer this question without using a formula.) d If you had added 0.02 mol of X and 0.01 mol of Y to form the solution in part b, how many moles of X and Y would you need to bring about the temperature change described in part c. e Judging on the basis of your answers so far, what is the enthalpy of the reaction 2X(aq) + Y(l) X2Y(aq)?arrow_forward4.4 Automobile exhaust often contains traces of formaldehyde (CH2O), which is another possible product of incomplete combustion. Write a balanced equation for the formation of formaldehyde during the combustion of octane. (Water will also be formed as a product.)arrow_forwardWater gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, is produced by treating carbon (in the form of coke or coal) with steam at high temperatures. (See Study Question 83.) C(s) + H2O(g) CO(g) + H2(g) Not all of the carbon available is converted to water gas since some is burned to provide the heat for the endothermic reaction of carbon and water. What mass of carbon must be burned (to CO2 gas) to provide the energy to convert 1.00 kg of carbon to water gas?arrow_forward
