Chapter 9, Problem 144
Ethyl chloride 1C2H5Cl2, a substance used as a topical anes-thetic, is prepared by reaction of ethylene with hydrogen chloride: C2H41g2 + HCl1g2 ¡ C2H5Cl1g2 ΔH° = - 72.3 kJ How much PV work is done in kilojoules, and what is the value of ΔE in kilojoules if 89.5 g of ethylene and 125 g of HCl are allowed to react at atmospheric pressure and the volume change is - 71.5 L?

Methanol 1CH3OH2 is made industrially in two steps from CO and H2. It is so cheap to make that it is being considered for use as a precursor to hydrocarbon fuels, such as methane 1CH42: Step 1. CO1g2 + 2 H21g2 S CH3OH1l2 ΔS° = - 332 J>K Step 2. CH3OH1l2 S CH41g2 + 1>2 O21g2 ΔS° = 162 J>K (a) Calculate ΔH° in kilojoules for step 1.
Methanol (CH3OH) is made industrially in two steps from CO and H2. It is so cheap to make that it is being considered for use as a precursor to hydrocarbon fuels, such as methane (CH4):
Step 1. CO(g) + 2 H2(g) S CH3OH(l) ΔS° = - 332 J/K
Step 2. CH3OH1l2 → CH4(g) + 1/2 O2(g) ΔS° = 162 J/K
(e) In what temperature range is step 1 spontaneous?
