(a)
Interpretation:
An energy diagram for an exothermic reaction withhigh 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 positive 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 fast reaction
with products at lower energy 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_forward4.4 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_forward

What assumption can be made to address these complications?arrow_forward4.61 What is actually measured by the octane ratings of different grades of gasoline?arrow_forward4.60 Why are fuel additives used?arrow_forward
- Water 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_forwardEnthalpy 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_forwardConsider a hypothetical chemical reaction: A+B → C+D (In this equation A, B, C and D stand for some unknown chemical formulas.) Here is an energy diagram for the reaction: 400- 300 energy C + D 200 (kJ/mol) A + B 100- reaction coordinate Use the energy diagram to answer these questions. What is the heat of reaction? kJ/mol Exothermic Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? Endothermic Neither Yes, it's kJ/mol Can you determine the activation energy? No. Can you determine the activation energy of the reverse reaction? Yes, it's kJ/mol C+D→A+B No.arrow_forward
