Chapter 8, Problem 8.21P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A second chain propagation step in the given reaction has to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

Halogenation of alkanes: The replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms by halogen. When alkanes is heated or irradiated with the light of specific wavelength, the alkyl halide are formed by radical chain reaction.

Bond dissociation energy is a measure of bond strength in a chemical bond.

It is a change in enthalpy of a homolysis reaction at absolute zero where a molecule is broken down into two free radicals.

ΔH0=BDE(broken)BDE(formed)

1. Sodium azide (NaN3) is the primary chemical substance used in automobile air bags. Upon impact, the decomposition of sodium azide is initiated to produce sodium metal and nitrogen gas which then inflates the bag. How many liters of nitrogen gas are produced at 1.15 atm and 30.0°C when 145.0 grams of sodium azide decomposes? 2. Calcium carbonate (such as that in limestone) reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide, aqueous calcium chloride and water. How many liters of carbon dioxide are produced at 20°C and 745 torr when 3.583 grams of calcium carbonate is dissolved in solution containing 1.550 grams of hydrochloric acid?
Show all work (where appropriate) for full credit. 1.
