Answer:
Lowering the temperature typically reduces the significance of the decrease in entropy. That makes the Gibbs Free energy of the reaction more negative. As a result, the reaction becomes more favorable overall.
Explanation:
In an addition reaction there's a decrease in the number of particles. Consider the hydrogenation of ethene as an example.
.
When is added to
(ethene) under heat and with the presence of a catalyst,
(ethane) would be produced.
Note that on the left-hand side of the equation, there are two gaseous molecules. However, on the right-hand side there's only one gaseous molecule. That's a significant decrease in entropy. In other words, .
The equation for the change in Gibbs Free Energy for a particular reaction is:
.
For a particular reaction, the more negative is, the more spontaneous ("favorable") the reaction would be.
Since typically for addition reactions, the "entropy term" of it would be positive. That's not very helpful if the reaction needs to be favorable.
(absolute temperature) is always nonnegative. However, lowering the temperature could help bring the value of
Answer:
Because of its weak intermolecular forces.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given description, it turns out possible for us to recall the chemical structures of both ethanol and dimethyl ether as follows:
Thus, we can see that ethanol have London dispersion forces (C-C bonds), dipole-dipole forces (C-O bonds) and also hydrogen bonds (O-H bonds) which make ethanol a liquid due to the strong hydrogen bonds. On the other hand, we can see that dimethyl ether has just London and dipole forces, which are by far weaker than hydrogen bonding, that makes it unstable when liquid and therefore it tends to vaporize quite readily.
