What is bond enthalpy? Explain bond enthalpy in polyatomic molecule like H_(2)O .

Answer»

Solution :It is defined as the amount of energy required to break one mole of bonds of a particular type between two atoms in gaseous state.
The UNIT of bond enthalpy is kJ`mol^(-1)` .
e.g.-1 : (i) The H - H bond enthalpy in hydrogen molecule is 435.8 kJ` mol^(-1)`
`H_(2(g)) rarr H_((g)) + H_((g)) , Delta_(a)H^(O) = 435.8" kJ " mol^(-1)`
e.g.-2 : (ii) The bond enthalpy for molecules containing multiple bonds, for example `O_(2) and N_(2)` will be as under :
`O_(2) (O = O)_((g)) rarr O_((g)) + O_((g)) , Delta_(a) ` H = 408 kJ `mol^(-1)`
`N_(2)(N equiv N)_((g))rarr N_((g)) , Delta_(a) H = ` 946.0 KK `mol^(-1)`
Characteristic of bond enthalpy : Here bondenthalpy is energy of BROKEN the bond (dissociation) so, it endothermic, but making enthalpy is exothermic. It is important that larger the bond dissociation enthalpy, stronger will be the bond in the molecule. So enthalpy is increase in this order : single bond `rarr` double bond `rarr`Triple bond.
HCl is heteronuclear diatomic molecules and its bond dissociation enthalpy is as under
`HCl_((g)) rarr H_((g)) + Cl_((g)) : Delta_(a) H = 431.0 " kJmol"^(-1)`
Bond dissociation enthalpy for polyatomicmolecule `H_(2)O` : In case of polyatomic molecule, the measurement ofbond strength is more complicated.
Example: In case of `H_(2)`O molecule, the enthalpy needed to break the two O - H bond is not the same but different.
`H_(2)O_((g)) rarr H_((g)) + OH_((g)) , Delta_(a) H_(1)^(Ө) = 502 " kJ mol"^(-1)`
` OH_((g)) rarr H_((g))+ O_((g)): Delta_(a)H_(2)^(Ө) = ` 427 kJ `mol^(-1)`
The difference in the `Delta H^(Ө)` value shows that the SECOND O - H bond undergoes some change because of changed chemical environoment .
This is the reason for some different in energy of the same O - H bond. In different molecules like `C_(2)H_(5)` OH (ethanol ) and water.
Average Bond enthalpy: The mean or average bond enthalpy is used in more than one same bond containing polyatomic molecules.
It is obtained by dividing total bond dissociation enthalpy by the NUMBER of bonds broken.
Average bond enthalpy = `("Total enthalpy of broken bond")/("Number of all broken bond") `
`({:("Average enghalpy of"),("O - H bond in"H_(2)O):}) = (Delta_(a) H_(1)^(Ө) + Delta_(a) H_(2)^(Ө))/(2)`
` = (502 + 427)/(2)`
= `464.5 kJ mol^(-1)`

What do you understand by the terms : (i) Hydrogen economy (ii) hydrogenation(iii) syngas (iv) water-gas shift reaction and (v) fuel cell ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) Hydrogen economy . The proposal to use hydrogen as a fuel in industry , power plants and possibly also in homes and motor vehicles is calledhydrogen economy. The basic principle of hydrogen economy is production , storage asnd trasnportation of energy is the form of liquid or gaseous dihydrogen .
(ii) HYDROGENATION means addition of hydrogen across double and triple bonds to form saturated compounds. The vegetable oils such soyabean oil, cotton SEED oil, groundnut oil, etc. are called POLYUNSATURATED oils since they contain many C=C bonds. When these oils are exposed to air for prolonged periods, the double bonds present in them undergo oxidation, i.e., develop unpleasant taste. To avoid this, double bonds are hydrogenated . For this purpose, dihydrogen is bubbled through edible oils in presence of finely divided nickel at 473 K when the oils are converted into solid fats.
Vegatable oil `+ H_(2) overset(Ni, 473 K) to ` Vegetable Ghee
THis process is called hdyrogenation or hardening of oils and is used in the manufacture of vegetable ghee like Dalda, Gagan, Rath etc. From vegetables oils. It MAY, however, be noted that hydrogenation reduces the number of double bonds but does not completely eliminate them.
(iii) Syngas. The mixtures of CO and `H_(2)` are called synthesis gas or syngas. It can be produced by thereaction of steam on hydrocarbon or coke at high temperature in the presence of nickel as catalyst.
`C_(n)H_(2n+2)+ nH_(2)O(g) underset(Ni) overset(1270 K)to nCO+(2n+1)H_(2)`
e.g. `CH_(4)(g) + H_(2)O(g) underset(Ni)overset(1270K)to CO(g) + 3H_(2)(g)`
These days, 'syngas' is produced from sewage, saw dust, scrap, wood, newspapers, etc. The process of producing syngas form COAL is called 'coal gasification'
`C(s) + H_(2)O(g) underset(Ni)overset(1270K)to CO(g) + H_(2)(g)`
(iv) Water -gas shift reaction. The amount of hydrogen in water gas can be further increased by oxidising CO to `CO_(2)` by mixing it with steam and passing the mixture over `FeCrO_(4)` as catalyst at 673 K.
`underset("Syngas")ubrace(CO(g) + H_(2)O(g))+ underset("Steam")(H_(2)O(g)) underset(FeCrO_(4))overset(673K)to CO_(2)(g)+ 2H_(2)(g)`
This chemical reaction is which CO of the which CO of the water gas reacts with steam to form `CO_(2)` and more `H_(2)` is called water-gas shift reaction.
(v) Fuel Cell. Fuel cell is a device which converts the energy produced during the combustion of a fuel directly into electrical energy. Dihydrogen is used in hydrogen -oxygen fuel cells for generating electrical energy. It has many advantages over the conventional fossil fuels. It is eco-friendly, i.e., it does not cause and pollution and (ii) Its octane number is about three times than that of gasoline , i.e., it releases three times more energy per unit mass of fuel as compared to gasoline.

What is the mass of precipitate formed when 50 ml of 8.5% solution of AgNO_3 is mixed with 100 ml of 1.865% potassium chloride solution?

Answer»

3.59 G
7 g
14 g
28 g

Solution :`AgNO_3 + KCl to KNO_3 + AGCL`
50 mL of 8.5% solution contains 4.25 g of `AgNO_3`
Number of moles of `AgNO_3` PRESENT in 50mL of 8.5% of `AgNO_3`
Number of moles of `AgNO_3` present in 50 mL of 8.5% `AgNO_3` solution.
=Mass/Molar mass = 4.25/170
= 0.05 moles
Similary, number of moles of KCl present in 100 mL of 1.865% KCl solution.
`=1.865 //74.5 =0.025` moles
So total amount of AgCl formed is 0.025 moles (based on the stoichiometry )
Amount of AgCl present in 0.025 moles of AgCl
=No. of moles `xx` molar mass
`=0.025 xx 143.5 = 3.59 g`
