Study Notes
Law of Conservation of Energy
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
Energy Units Conversion
- A chemical reaction releasing 31.39 kJ corresponds to approximately 7.502 kCal.
- A reaction releasing 55.2 kCal corresponds to approximately 231 kJ.
Bond Strength
- The strongest bond among H-Br, H-Cl, H-F, and H-I is H-F.
- The weakest bond is H-I.
Types of Reactions
- In endothermic reactions, products have higher energy than reactants.
Reaction Enthalpy
- For the combustion of propane (C3H8), ΔH = -531 kcal/mol indicates that stronger bonds are formed in the products compared to bonds broken in reactants.
- The reaction of C2H4 with H2 releases 480 kJ when 3.5 mol of C2H4 reacts (ΔH = -137 kJ).
- When 55.3 g of C2H4 reacts, approximately 270 kJ are released.
Activation Energy
- The activation energy is the energy required to initiate a chemical reaction.
Factors Affecting Reaction Rate
- A banana ripens faster on the countertop compared to being stored in the refrigerator.
- Reaction rates can increase by:
- Increasing the concentration of reactants
- Properly aligning reactants during collisions
- Adding a catalyst
- Increasing temperature
- A catalyst speeds up a reaction and lowers activation energy without being consumed.
Measuring Reaction Rate
- The rate can be determined by observing the amount of product formed per unit of time.
- Increasing temperature and concentration both increase reaction rates.
Reversible Reactions and Equilibrium
- A reversible reaction can proceed in either direction.
- At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
- Concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium are not necessarily equal.
Equilibrium Constant (Kc)
- A Kc value of 1 × 10^7 indicates a strong favor for product formation.
- Kc value of 1 × 10^-5 indicates that reactants are favored.
- For the reaction 2NO + Br2 ⇌ 2NOBr, with NO and NOBr at 0.50 M each, the Br2 concentration at equilibrium is found to be 1.7 M.
Shift in Equilibrium
- In the equilibrium reaction of CO + 2H2 ⇌ CH3OH + heat, removing H2 will shift the equilibrium to the left.
- Decreasing the volume of the container for the reaction N2 + O2 ⇌ 2NO does not change the amount of NO present at equilibrium.
