Concept explainers
Interpretation: It should be identified that whether given reaction is an endothermic or exothermic step using bond enthalpy data.
Concept Introduction:
Exothermic reaction: Reaction is considered as exothermic if it releases energy in the form of heat.
Endothermic reaction: The reaction which requires energy and absorbs in order to complete the reaction.
Bond Dissociation Enthalpy
The reaction enthalpy change determined by using the following equation,

- Draw Lewis electron dot structures for CH3Cl (methyl chloride, a topical anesthetic), H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide, with an O-O bond), and NH2OH (with an N-O bond).arrow_forwardConsider the pyrosulfate ion, S2O72-. It has no sulfur–sulfur nor oxygen–oxygen bonds. (a) Write a Lewis structure for the pyrosulfate ion using only single bonds. (b) What is the formal charge on the sulfur atoms for the Lewis structure you drew in part (a)? (c) Write another Lewis structure using six bonds and two O—S bonds. (d) What is the formal charge on each atom for the structure you drew in part (c)?arrow_forwardThe curved arrow notation introduced in Section 1.6B is a powerful method used by organic chemists to show the movement of electrons not only in resonance structures, but also in chemical reactions.Because each curved arrow shows the movement of two electrons, following the curved arrows illustrates what bonds are broken and formed in a reaction. Consider the following three-step process. (a) Add curved arrows in Step [1] to show the movement of electrons. (b) Use the curved arrows drawn in Step [2] to identify the structure of X. X is converted in Step [3] to phenol and HCl.arrow_forward

(a) Determine the empirical formula of benzene and of these three compounds. (b) Suppose you are given a sample of one of the compounds. Could combustion analysis be used to determine unambiguously which of the three it is? (c) Naphthalene, the active ingredient in mothballs, is a white solid. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of naphthalene to CO2(g) and H2O(g). (d) Using the Lewis structure for naphthalene and the average bond enthalpies in Table 8.4, estimate the heat of combustion of naphthalene in kJ/mol. (e) Would you expect naphthalene, anthracene, and tetracene to have multiple resonance structures? If so, draw the additional resonance structures for naphthalene. (f) Benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene are colorless, but tetracene is orange.

- Draw resonance structures for the SO2 molecule, and determine the formal charges on the S and O atoms. Are the SO bonds polar, and is the molecule as a whole polar? If so, what is the direction of the net dipole in SO2? Is your prediction confirmed by the electrostatic potential surface? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardAcrolein is used to make plastics.
