Use the bond energies provided to estimate ΔH°rxn for the reaction below.
C2H4(g) + H2(g) → C2H6(g) ΔH°rxn = ?
Bond Bond Energy (kJ/mol)
C-C 347
C-H 414
C=C 611
C≡C 837
H-H 436
To determine the heat of reaction, subtract the total bond energy of the reactants from the bond energy of the product.
C2H4 is ethene. If you go to the website below, you can see the structure of this molecule.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene
It has 1 C=C and 4 C-H’s.
Total bond energy = 611 + 4 * 414 = 2267 kJ/mol
H2 = 436 kJ/mol
Total bond energy = 2703 kJ/mol
C2H6 is ethane.
If you go to the website below, you can see the structure of this molecule.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethane
It has 1 C-C and 6 C-H’s.
Bond energy = 347 + 6 * 414 = 2831 kJ/mol
Heat of reaction = 2831 – 2703 = 128 kJ/mol
If you go to the website below, you will see examples of this type of problem. As I look at this method, I realize that I worked this problem backwards. For C2H4 and H2 to react, the bonds must be broken. This requires 2703 kJ/mol of energy. As C2H6 is formed, bonds are made. As this happens 2831 kJ/mol of energy is released. To determine the heat of reaction, subtract the bond energy of the product from the sum of the bond energies of the reactants. The only difference is that the heat of reaction is negative instead of positive.

Choose the best Lewis structure for CH2Cl2.
single bonds with C in the center, 6 valence on each CL
Place the following in order of decreasing magnitude of lattice energy.
NaF RbBr KCl
Selected Answer:
Correct
NaF > KCl > RbBr
The following two factors are important in determining the magnitude of the lattice energy.
1) The smaller the distance between the nuclei of the ions the greater is the attractive force.
2) The charge of the ions also is a factor, the greater the charge the greater is
the attractive force.
In this case all cations have the same charge and all the anions have the same charge.
RbBr largest cation and largest anion.
NaF smallest cation and smallest anion
Greatest lattice energy NaF > KCl > RbBr least
What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 2 outer atoms and 2 lone pairs on the central atom?
What is its geometry?
Bent
(Think of the electron geometry 1st, then subtract the lone pairs to get the molecular geometry)
tetrahedral
The steric number is 4 because 2 outer atoms + 2 lone pairs = 4 regions of high electron density.
What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 5 outer atoms and 1 lone pair on the central atom?
What is the electronic geometry of this molecule?
octahedral
The steric number is 6 because 5 outer atoms + 1 lone pair = 6 regions of high electron density.
What is the molecular geometry of PCl3?
What is the electronic geometry of PCl3?
trigonal pyramidal
Tetrahedral
3 groups + 1 lone pair
What is the molecular geometry of SCl2?
What is the electronic geometry of SCl2?
bent
tetrahedral
2 bonds 2 lone pairs
What is the value of the bond angles in SiH4?
How many electron regions are there around the central atom in SiH4?
Determine the electronic geometry
109.5*
For the molecules in which there are no lone pairs of electrons on the central atom the electronic geometry is the same as the molecular geometry. The molecular geometry of a molecule describes the three-dimensional shape of just the atoms.
How many electron regions are there around the central atom in SiH4?
