Consider the halogenation of ethene is as follows:
CH₂=CH₂(g) + X₂(g) → H₂CX-CH₂X(g)
We can expect that this reaction occurring by breaking of a C=C bond and forming of two C-X bonds.
When bond break it is endothermic and when bond is formed it is exothermic.
So we can calculate the overall enthalpy change as a sum of the required bonds in the products:
Part a)
C=C break = +611 kJ
2 C-F formed = (2 * - 552) = -1104 kJ
Δ H = + 611 - 1104 = - 493 kJ
2C-Cl formed = (2 * -339) = - 678 kJ
ΔH = + 611 - 678 = -67 kJ
2 C-Br formed = (2 * -280) = -560 kJ
ΔH = + 611 - 560 = + 51 kJ
2 C-I Formed = (2 * -209) = -418 kJ
ΔH = + 611 - 418 = + 193 kJ
Part b)
As we can see that the highest exothermic bond formed is C-F bond so from bond energies we can found that addition of fluoride is the most exothermic reaction
Energy released from cell respiration is know as ATP
Temperature change, colour change, releasing gas, bubbles and change in odor
