1.

Suggest, giving reasons, which substance in each of the following pairs is likely to
have the higher normal melting point: a) HCl or NaCl b) C2H5OC2H5 or C4H9OH c)CI4 or
CF4 d)C2H4 or CH3OH
2. Use bond enthalpies to estimate the reaction enthalpy for
HCl(g) + F2(g) HF(g) + ClF(g)
H-Cl bond:
F-F bond:
H-F bond:
Cl-F bond:

431kJ/mol
158kJ/mol
565kJ/mol
256kJ/mol

3. Write out how you would solve for the reaction enthalpy using bond enthalpies for:
a) C2H4(g) + HCl(g) CH3CH2Cl(g)
b) C2H4(g) + H2(g) CH3CH3(g)
4. An important reaction that takes place in the atmosphere is
NO2(g) NO(g) + O(g)
Calculate H0r for this reaction, knowing:
O2(g) 2O(g)
H0 = +498.4 kJ/mol
NO(g) + O3(g) NO2(g) + O2(g)
H0 = -200.0 kJ/mol
O3(g)

H0 = - 142.7 kJ/mol
