Answer:
c) the attraction of an atom for the electrons in a covalent bond.
Explanation:
Electronegativity, symbol χ, is a chemical property describing an atom's ability of to attract a shared pair of electrons to itself. It is influenced by the atomic number of the atom and the distance between the valence electrons and the charged nucleus. As the electronegativity number of atoms increases, the more the atom attracts electrons towards itself.
Part (a) :
H₂(g) + I₂(s) → 2 HI(g)
From given table:
G HI = + 1.3 kJ/mol
G H₂ = 0
G I₂ = 0
ΔG = G(products) - G(reactants) = 2 (1.3) = 2.6 kJ/mol
Part (b):
MnO₂(s) + 2 CO(g) → Mn(s) + 2 CO₂(g)
G MnO₂ = - 465.2
G CO = -137.16
G CO₂ = - 394.39
G Mn = 0
ΔG = G(products) - G(reactants) = (1(0) + 2*-394.39) - (-465.2 + 2*-137.16) = - 49.3 kJ/mol
Part (c):
NH₄Cl(s) → NH₃(g) + HCl(g)
ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS
ΔG = (H(products) - H(reactants)) - 298 * (S(products) - S(reactants))
= (-92.31 - 45.94) - (-314.4) - (298 k) * (192.3 + 186.8 - 94.6) J/K
= 176.15 kJ - 84.78 kJ = 91.38 kJ
Answer:
Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.
Explanation:
The benzene ring in itself does not easily undergo electrophilic substitution reaction. Some groups activate or deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution reactions.
-NO2 ia a highly deactivating substituent therefore, Friedel-Crafts alkylation of nitrobenzene does not take place under any conditions.
This reaction scheme is therefore flawed because Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.
