- What is a driving force? Name two common and important driving forces, and give an example of each. What is entropy? Although the total energy of the universe is constant, is the entropy of the universe constant? What is a spontaneous process?arrow_forwardBond Enthalpy When atoms of the hypothetical element X are placed together, they rapidly undergo reaction to form the X2 molecule: X(g)+X(g)X2(g) a Would you predict that this reaction is exothermic or endothermic? Explain. b Is the bond enthalpy of X2 a positive or a negative quantity? Why? c Suppose H for the reaction is 500 kJ/mol. Estimate the bond enthalpy of the X2 molecule. d Another hypothetical molecular compound, Y2(g), has a bond enthalpy of 750 kJ/mol, and the molecular compound XY(g) has a bond enthalpy of 1500 kJ/mol. Using bond enthalpy information, calculate H for the following reaction. X2(g)+Y2(g)2XY(g) e Given the following information, as well as the information previously presented, predict whether or not the hypothetical ionic compound AX is likely to form. In this compound, A forms the A+ cation, and X forms the X anion. Be sure to justify your answer. Reaction: A(g)+12X2(g)AX(s)The first ionization energy of A(g) is 400 kJ/mol. The electron affinity of X(g) is 525 kJ/mol. The lattice energy of AX(s) is 100 kJ/mol. f If you predicted that no ionic compound would form from the reaction in Part e, what minimum amount of AX(s) lattice energy might lead to compound formation?arrow_forwardAnswer the questions in the table below about the shape of the borane (BH3) molecule. How many electron groups are around the central boron atom? Note: one "electron group" means one lone pair, one single bond, one double bond, or one triple bond. What phrase best describes the arrangement of these electron groups around the central boron atom? (You may need to use the scrollbar to see all the choices.) (choose one) X G <arrow_forward
- What is the greenhouse effect? How does the excess CO2 gas in the atmosphere cause the greenhouse effect?arrow_forwardHydrazine, N2H4, burns in oxygen as follows: N2H4 + O2 → N2 + 2H2O [The bond energies in kJ/mol are: N-H = 388; N-N 163; N≡N 944; O-H 463; O=O 496] Draw the chemical structures of the reactants and products and give the formula to calculate enthalpy change in a reaction, ΔH.arrow_forwardButanol has the chemical formula C4H9OH. d) In the molecule of butanol, there are C-C bonds, C-H bonds, a C-O bond and a O-H bond. Order these bonds from most to least polar e) On average, would you expect C-C to have longer or shorter bonds than C-H Briefly explain your answer. f) From the reaction 2.57 L of carbon dioxide was produced and captured. Calculate the number of molecules of carbon dioxide if the temperature was 25.0 C and the pressure 1. 01 × 105 Pa. g) The empirical and molecular formula for butanol is the same. Briefly explain why.arrow_forward
- 2. Sulphur reacts with oxygen to form sulphur trioxide through sulphur monoxide and sulphur dioxide. Sulphur trioxide reacts with water to form sulphuric acid. Balance the equations for the above and draw the Lewis structures for each of the oxides and the acid. next pagearrow_forward5. Consider the reaction between hydrazine and hydrogen to produce ammonia, N2H4(g)+H2(g)→2NH3(g)N2H4(g)+H2(g)→2NH3(g). Use enthalpies of formation and bond enthalpies to estimate the enthalpy of the nitrogen-nitrogen bond in N2H4N2H4. (Hint: In an N2H4N2H4 molecule, each NN atom has single bonds to the adjacent NN atom and two HH atoms. In an NH3NH3 molecule, the central NN atom has single bonds to three HH atoms.)arrow_forwardConsider the following chemical reaction between component A and B: A(?) + 2B(g) → C(g)+ 3D(l) …..ΔH°r = −2253.2 kJ i. State whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. ii. Based on the value of heat of reaction, explain the chemical reaction above in terms of the energy associated with breaking or formation of molecular bonds. iii. Consider a similar reaction of A and B as the one shown above. However, the reaction now generates D in vapor form instead of liquid. Explain how the heat of reaction value differs from the one shown above. iv. If the above reaction occurs in an isothermal system where there is no work interaction and both kinetic and potential energy changes are too small such that they are negligible, write the energy balance for the system.arrow_forward
