If <em>sec-</em>butyl ether were synthesized by a Williamson synthesis, the combination that would give the best results with the least amount of elimination is (b) using sodium <em>sec-</em>butoxide and Bromoethane. Since bromoethane is an alkyl halide with the halogen attached at the terminal of the compound.

Explain how hydrogen bonding contributes to water's high heat of vaporization

pashok25 [27]

The heat/enthalpy of vaporization of water represents the energy input required to convert one mole of water into vapor at a constant temperature. Intermolecular forces including hydrogen bondings of significant strength hold water molecules in place under its liquid state. Whereas the molecules experience almost no intermolecular interactions under the gaseous state- consider the way noble gases molecules interact. It is thus necessary to supply sufficient energy to overcome all intermolecular interactions present in the substance under its liquid state to convert the substance into a gas. The heat of vaporization is thus related to the strength of the intermolecular interactions.

Water molecules contain hydrogen atoms bonded directly to oxygen atoms. Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative and take major control of electrons in hydrogen-oxygen bonds. Hydrogen atoms in water molecules thus experience a strong partial-positive charge and would attract lone pairs of electron on neighboring water molecules. "Hydrogen bonds" refer to the attraction between hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative elements and lone pairs of electrons. The hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules are so polarized that hydrogen bonds in water are stronger than both dipole-dipole interactions and London Dispersion Forces in most other molecules. It thus take high amounts of energy to separate water molecules sufficiently apart such that they no longer experience intermolecular interactions and behave collectively like a gas. As a result, water has one of the highest heat of vaporization among covalent molecules of similar sizes.

The gas-phase reaction follows an elementary rate law and is to be carried out first in a PFR and then in a separate experiment

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The activation energy is $=8.1\,kcal\,mol^{-1}$

Explanation:

The gas phase reaction is as follows.

$A \rightarrow B+C$

The rate law of the reaction is as follows.

$-r_{A}=kC_{A}$

The reaction is carried out first in the plug flow reactor with feed as pure reactant.

From the given,

Volume "V" = $10dm^{3}$

Temperature "T" = 300 K

Volumetric flow rate of the reaction $v_{o}=5dm^{3}s$

Conversion of the reaction "X" = 0.8

The rate constant of the reaction can be calculate by the following formua.

$V= \frac{v_{0}}{k}[(1+\epsilon )ln(\frac{1}{1-X}-\epsilon X)]$

Rearrange the formula is as follows.

$k= \frac{v_{0}}{V}[(1+\epsilon )ln(\frac{1}{1-X}-\epsilon X)]............(1)$

The feed has Pure A, mole fraction of A in feed $y_{A_{o}}$ is 1.

$\epsilon =y_{A_{o}}\delta$

$\delta$ = change in total number of moles per mole of A reacte.

$=1(2-1)=1$

Substitute the all given values in equation (1)

$k=\frac{5m^{3}/s}{10dm^{3}}[(1+1)ln \frac{1}{1-0.8}-1 \times 0.8] = 1.2s^{-1}$

Therefore, the rate constant in case of the plug flow reacor at 300K is $1.2s^{-1}$

The rate constant in case of the CSTR can be calculated by using the formula.

$\frac{V}{v_{0}}= \frac{X(1+\epsilon X)}{k(1-X)}.............(2)$

The feed has 50% A and 50% inerts.

Hence, the mole fraction of A in feed $y_{A_{o}}$ is 0.5

$\epsilon =y_{A_{o}}\delta$

$\delta$ = change in total number of moles per mole of A reacted.

$=0.5(2-1)=0.5$

Substitute the all values in formula (2)

$\frac{10dm^{3}}{5dm^{3}}=\frac{0.8(1+0.5(0.8))}{k(1-0.8)}=2.8s^{-1}$

Therefore, the rate constant in case of CSTR comes out to be $2.8s^{-1}$

The activation energy of the reaction can be calculated by using formula

$k(T_{2})=k(T_{1})exp[\frac{E}{R}(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}})]$

In the above reaction rate constant at the two different temperatures.

Rearrange the above formula is as follows.

$E= R \times(\frac{T_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}-T_{2}})ln\frac{k(T_{2})}{k(T_{1})}$

Substitute the all values.

$=1.987cal/molK(\frac{300K \times320K}{320K \times300K})ln \frac{2.8}{1.2}=8.081 \times10^{3}cal\,mol^{-1}$

$=8.1\,kcal\,mol^{-1}$

Therefore, the activation energy is $=8.1\,kcal\,mol^{-1}$
