Identify and explain exothermic and endothermic reactions in terms of energy transfer

1 answer:

5 0

Exothermic reaction is when the system releases energy to the surrounding, the energy (in the perspective of the system) will have a sign of negative, as the system is transferring energy towards the surrounding.

Endothermic reaction is when the system is absorbing energy from the surrounding, the energy (in the perspective of the system) will have a sign of positive, as energy is transferred to the system.

A reaction was performed in which 4.0 g of cyclohexanol was reacted with an acid catalyst to obtain 2.8 g of cyclohexene. calcul

Answer:

%age Yield = 85.36 %

Solution:

The Balance Chemical Reaction is as follow,

C₆H₁₂O + Acid Catalyst → C₆H₁₀ + Acid Catalyst + H₂O

According to Equation ,

100 g (1 mole) C₆H₁₂O produces = 82 g (1 moles) of C₆H₁₀

So,

4.0 g of C₆H₁₂O will produce = X g of C₆H₁₀

Solving for X,

X = (4.0 g × 82 g) ÷ 100 g

X = 3.28 g of C₆H₁₀ (Theoretical Yield)

As we know,

%age Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100

%age Yield = (2.8 g ÷ 3.28 g) × 100

%age Yield = 85.36 %

Rank the compounds in each set in order of increasing acid strength.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember the effect of an atom with high electronegativity as "Br". If the "Br" atom is closer to the carboxylic acid group (COOH) we will have an inductive effect. Due to the electronegativity of Br, the electrons of the C-H bond would be to the Br, then this bond would be weaker and the compound will be more acid (because is easier to produce the hydronium ion $H^+$ ).

With this in mind, for A in the last compound, we have 2 Br atoms near to the acid carboxylic group, so, we will have a high inductive effect, then the C-H would be weaker and we will have more acidity. Then we will have the compound with only 1 Br atom and finally, the last compound would be the one without Br atoms.

In B, the difference between the molecules is the position of the "Br" atom in the molecule. If the Br atom is closer to the acid group we will have a higher inductive effect and more acidity.
