Interpretation:
A plot of the boiling point in kelvins versus the number of hydrogen atoms present in
Concept Introduction:
Hydrogen bonding:
Hydrogen bonding is a special form of dipole-dipole interaction. When a hydrogen atom is bonded to a small electronegative atom (like
London forces:
London(dispersion) forces happen because sometimes, when adjacent molecules line up so that they form temporary dipoles, there is a weak force of attraction between the end of one molecule where more of the electrons are accumulating at the moment and the end of a second molecule where the electrons are not staying at the moment.

- 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_forwardThe bond energy for a CH bond is about 413 kJ/mol in CH4 but 380 kJ/mol in CHBr3. Although these values are relatively close in magnitude, they are different. Explain why they are different. Does the fact that the bond energy is lower in CHBr3, make any sense? Why?arrow_forwardhat does temperature measure? Are the molecules in a beaker of warm water moving at the same speed as the molecules in a beaker of cold water? Explain? What is heat? Is heat the same as temperature?arrow_forward
- hat is the enthalpy change for a process? Is enthalpy a state function? In what experimental apparatus are enthalpy changes measured?arrow_forwardUse a Born-Haber cycle (Sec. 5-13) to calculate the lattice energy of MgF2 using these thermodynamic data. Compare this lattice energy with that of SrF2, −2496 kJ/mol. Explain the difference in the values in structural terms.arrow_forward9.10 The kinetic energy of molecules is often used to induce chemical reactions. The bond energy in an O1 molecule is 8.221019J . Can an O2 molecule traveling at 780 m/s provide enough energy to break the O = O bond? What is the minimum velocity of an O2 molecule that would give a kinetic energy capable of breaking the bond if it is converted with 100% efficiency?arrow_forward
- The lattice energy of KF is 794 kJ/mol, and the interionic distance is 269 pm. The Na—F distance in NaF, which has the same structure as KF, is 231 pm. Which of the following values is the closest approximation of the lattice energy of NaF: 682 kJ/mol, 794 kJ/mol, 924 kJ/mol, 1588 kJ/mol, or 3175 kJ/mol? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardn Section 10.7, two characteristics of enthalpy changes for reactions are listed. What are these characteristics? Explain why these characteristics are true.arrow_forwardHow is average bond strength related to relative potential energies of the reactants and the products?arrow_forward
- Draw a diagram like Figure 2.11 that illustrates the change in enthalpy for the chemical reaction C s 2H2 g CH4 g Which is exothermic by 74.8 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardcalculate the standard N-H bond enthalpy the following from data. 2 NH3 N2 ca) + 3 H2 (g2arrow_forwardthe lattice energy of CaC2(s) is -2911 kJ/mol. calculate a value for the thermochemical radius of the carbide ion, C2^2-.arrow_forward
