Note that the average bond energy for the breaking of a bond in CO2 is 799 kJ/mol. Use average bond energies to calculate ΔH of reaction for this reaction.

Answer:

The ΔH of the reaction is -626 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

$C(s)+ 2 H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+CO_2(g).\Delta H=?$

We are given with:

$\Delta H_{H-O}=459 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{H-H}=432 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{C=O}=799 kJ/mol$

ΔH = (Energies required to break bonds on reactant side) - (Energies released on formation of bonds on product side)

$\Delta H=(4\times \Delta H_{O-H})-(2\times \Delta H_{H-H}+2\times\Delta H_{C=O})$

$=(4\times 459 kJ/mol)-(2\times 432 kJ/mol+2\times 799 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H=-626 kJ/mol$

The ΔH of the reaction is -626 kJ/mol.

Which has a higher frequency electron or a neutron why ?

8_murik_8 [283]

The electron has a higher frequency compared to the neutron. It can be explained by the way an electron orbits the nucleus of an atom.

According to Quantum Mechanics, electrons do not really orbit the nucleus of an atom. In fact, the most tightly bound state, the 1s orbital, has no angular momentum at all. This would be the state with the most "kinetic energy" and yet there is no "orbital" motion at all in this state.

<span>However, there are frequencies associated with each orbital.</span>
