Consider the halogenation of ethene is as follows:
CH₂=CH₂(g) + X₂(g) → H₂CX-CH₂X(g)
We can expect that this reaction occurring by breaking of a C=C bond and forming of two C-X bonds.
When bond break it is endothermic and when bond is formed it is exothermic.
So we can calculate the overall enthalpy change as a sum of the required bonds in the products:
Part a)
C=C break = +611 kJ
2 C-F formed = (2 * - 552) = -1104 kJ
Δ H = + 611 - 1104 = - 493 kJ
2C-Cl formed = (2 * -339) = - 678 kJ
ΔH = + 611 - 678 = -67 kJ
2 C-Br formed = (2 * -280) = -560 kJ
ΔH = + 611 - 560 = + 51 kJ
2 C-I Formed = (2 * -209) = -418 kJ
ΔH = + 611 - 418 = + 193 kJ
Part b)
As we can see that the highest exothermic bond formed is C-F bond so from bond energies we can found that addition of fluoride is the most exothermic reaction
Answer:
The combination of oxygen with other substances to produce new chemical products is called <u>Oxidation</u>.
Explanation:
Oxidation reactions are defined as,
In terms of Inorganic chemistry:
(i) <u>Removal of Electrons: </u>
Example: Mg → Mg²⁺ + 2 e⁻
(ii) <u>Addition of Oxygen:</u>
Example: 2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO
In terms of Organic chemistry:
(i) <u>Addition of Electrons: </u>
Example: Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻
(ii) <u>Addition of Hydrogen:</u>
Example: H₂CCH₂ + H₂ → H₃CCH₃
Answer : The time required for decay is, 84 days.
Explanation :
Half-life of chromium-51 = 28 days
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :
Now we have to calculate the time required for decay.
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant
t = time taken by sample = ?
a = let initial activity of the sample = 100
a - x = amount left after decay process = 12.5
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Therefore, the time required for decay is, 84 days.
