A positive cahnge of enthalpy, ΔH rxn = + 55 kJ/mol, for the forward reaction means that the reaction is endothermic, i.e. the reactants absorb energy and the products are higher in energy.

Activation energy is the difference in the energy level of the reactants and the peak in the potential energy diagram (the energy of the transition state).

For an endothermic reaction, the products will be closer in energy to the transition state than what the reactans will be; so, the activation energy of the reversed reaction is lower than the activation energy of the forward reaction.

Activation energy of reverse and forward reactions is related by:

Activation energy of reverse rxn = Activation energy of forward rxn - ΔH rxn

=> Activiation energy of reverse rxn = 102 kJ/mol - 55 kJ/mol = 47 kJ/mol

Answer: 47 kJ/mol

A solution was prepared by dissolving 0.800 g of sulfur S8, in 100.0 g of acetic acid, HC2H3O2. Calculate the freezing point and
sammy [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The freezing point of solution is 16.5°C and the boiling point of solution is 118.2°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}

Where,

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (S_8) = 0.800 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (S-8) = 256.52 g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (acetic acid) = 100.0 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{0.800\times 1000}{256.52\times 100.0}\\\\\text{Molality of solution}=0.0312m

  • <u>Calculation for freezing point of solution:</u>

Depression in freezing point is defined as the difference in the freezing point of water and freezing point of solution.

\Delta T_f=\text{freezing point of acetic acid}-\text{Freezing point of solution}

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

\Delta T_f=iK_fm

or,

\text{Freezing point of acetic acid}-\text{Freezing point of solution}=iK_fm

where,

Freezing point of acetic acid = 16.6°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

K_f = molal freezing point depression constant = 3.59°C/m

m = molality of solution = 0.0312 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

16.6^oC-\text{freezing point of solution}=1\times 3.59^oC/m\times 0.0312m\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=16.5^oC

Hence, the freezing point of solution is 16.5°C

  • <u>Calculation for boiling point of solution:</u>

Elevation in boiling point is defined as the difference in the boiling point of solution and freezing point of pure solution.

The equation used to calculate elevation in boiling point follows:

\Delta T_b=\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of acetic acid}

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

\Delta T_b=iK_bm

or,

\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of acetic acid}=iK_fm

where,

Boiling point of acetic acid = 118.1°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

K_f = molal boiling point elevation constant = 3.08°C/m

m = molality of solution = 0.0312 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Boiling point of solution}-118.1^oC=1\times 3.08^oC/m\times 0.0312m\\\\\text{Boiling point of solution}=118.2^oC

Hence, the boiling point of solution is 118.2°C
