Answer:
Choose the least electronegative atom other than H.
Explanation:
A Lewis structure consists of <em>terminal atoms</em> and one or more <em>central atoms</em>.
H can be <em>only a terminal atom</em> because it can form only one bond.
So the central atom must be either C or O.
The central atom is the less electronegative atom: C.
So, start the Lewis structure with a central C atom.
Then attach an O atom to get C-O.
Finally, attach the H atoms.
The condensed formula often gives you a clue where they go.
The formula CH₃OH implies that there are 3 H atoms on C and one on O.
The connectivity of the atoms is then as in the diagram below.
Answer:
-514 kJ/mol
Explanation:
The bond enthalpy which is also known as bond energy can be defined as the amount of energy needed to split one mole of the stated bond. The change in enthalpy of a given reaction can be estimated by subtracting the sum of the bond energies of the reactants from the sum of the bond energies of the products.
For the given chemical reaction, the change in enthalpy of the reaction is:
Δ [2(409) + 4(388) + 3(496) - 4(630) - 4(463)] kJ/mol = 818 + 1552 + 1488 - 2520 - 1852 = -514 kJ/mol
