Thermochemical equations units

Problem 9.5 (a) Calculate AH of combustion per CHj unit for the first four cycloalkanes, given the following AH s of combustion, in kJ/mol cyclopropane, -2091 cyclobutane, -2744 cyclopentane, -3320 cyclohexane, -3952. (b) Write (i) the thermochemical equation for the combustion of cyclopropane and (ii) the theoretical equation for the combustion of a CH unit of any given ring, (c) How do ring stability and ring size correlate for the first four cycloalkanes ... 

The enthalpy of reaction, AHr (or reaction enthalpy ), is closely related to the quantity AH that appears in a thermochemical equation, but its units are kilojoules per mole (kj-mol-1) rather than kilojoules. We interpret the per mole to mean per number of moles of each substance as indicated by its stoichiometric coefficient in the chemical equation. For example, the oxidation of methane described by reaction A signifies that 890 kj of heat is released per mole of CFI4 molecules consumed or per... 

We can then use several unit factors to interpret this thermochemical equation. 1367 kj given off 1367 kj given off 1367 kj given off... 

The thermochemical equation tells us that 3352 kj of heat is released for every mole of reaction, that is, for every 4 moles of A1 that reacts. We convert 24.2 g of A1 to moles, and then calculate the number of kilojoules corresponding to that number of moles of Al, using the unit factors... 

We can then use several unit factors to interpret this thermochemical equation. 

Write complete units, including substance formulas.Then remember to scale the heat change to the amount of reaction described in the balanced thermochemical equation. Heat is released, so this Is an exothermic reaction and has a negative value of AH .

Therefore, 1.17 X 10 kJ of energy in the form of sunlight is consumed in the production of 75.0 g of C4H12O4. Note that the per mole units in AH are canceled when we multiply the thermochemical equation by the number of moles of C6H12O4. 

Heat Capacity, C° Heat capacity is defined as the amount of energy required to change the temperature of a unit mass or mole one degree typical units are J/kg-K or J/kmol-K. There are many sources of ideal gas heat capacities in the hterature e.g., Daubert et al.,"" Daubert and Danner,JANAF thermochemical tables,TRC thermodynamic tables,and Stull et al. If C" values are not in the preceding sources, there are several estimation techniques that require only the molecular structure. The methods of Thinh et al. and Benson et al. " are the most accurate but are also somewhat complicated to use. The equation of Harrison and Seaton " for C" between 300 and 1500 K is almost as accurate and easy to use ... 

Ethanol is the key reactant in Eq. (1), and also in Eq. (2) because it is readily converted to acetaldehyde. The process based on Eq. 1 was developed in Russia and the process based on Eq. 2 was developed in the United States. The yield of butadiene for the Russian process is about 30-35%. It is about 70% if mixtures of ethanol and acetaldehyde are employed as in the U.S. process. Equation (3) represents a process that involves 2,3-butylene glycol, a product from the microbial conversion of biomass. The process is carried out in two sequential steps via the glycol diacetate in overall yields to butadiene of about 80%. The process of Eq. (4) starts with a biomass derivative, the cyclic ether tetrahydrofuran, and can be carried out at high yields. When this process was first operated on a large scale in Germany, acetylene and formaldehyde were the raw materials for the synthesis of intermediate tetrahydrofuran. It is manufactured today from biomass feedstocks by thermochemical conversion, as will be discussed later. 

The An correction term to account for the change in the number of moles in the stoechiometric equation for the reaction is necessary because the thermochemical quantities are tabulated for a standard state at 1 atm., while the rate constants are expressed in concentration units (see also rel. 2.2.24). Because of this convention two constants are necessary, R = 1.987 kcal mol, and R = 0.082 L mol deg. ... 

DN values were computed using Gutmann s equation and the thermochemical data for binary polymer blends of a poly(styrene-co-vinylphenyl hexafluoro dimethyl carbinol) [55]. The copolymer contained 95% of styrene repeat units and its OH stretching frequency shifts were similar to those of HFIP [55]. For this reason the copolymer was assigned the Gutmann AN of HFIP [175].
