Work Step by Step

To estimate the change in energy (ΔE) for each of the given reactions, we can use the bond energy values provided in Table 3-3. a. $CH_{2}-CH_{2}+HCN\rightarrow HOH-C-N=N$ The bond energies involved in this reaction are: - C-C bond: 347 kJ/mol - C-H bond: 413 kJ/mol - C≡N bond: 887 kJ/mol - O-H bond: 463 kJ/mol - N=N bond: 945 kJ/mol The change in energy (ΔE) for this reaction can be calculated as: ΔE = (887 + 945) - (347 + 413 + 463) = 609 kJ/mol b. $HOCH_{2}CH_{2}CN\rightarrow \underset {H}{C}=C^{H}+H_{2}O$ The bond energies involved in this reaction are: - C-O bond: 358 kJ/mol - C-C bond: 347 kJ/mol - C-H bond: 413 kJ/mol - C≡N bond: 887 kJ/mol - C=C bond: 611 kJ/mol - O-H bond: 463 kJ/mol The change in energy (ΔE) for this reaction can be calculated as: ΔE = (611 + 463) - (358 + 347 + 413 + 887) = 69 kJ/mol c. $4CH_{2}=CHCH_{3}+6NO\frac {700^{\circ }C}{Az}\\ 4CH_{2}=CHCN+6H_{2}O+N_{2}$ The bond energies involved in this reaction are: - C=C bond: 611 kJ/mol - C-H bond: 413 kJ/mol - C≡N bond: 887 kJ/mol - N=O bond: 630 kJ/mol The change in energy (ΔE) for this reaction can be calculated as: ΔE = (4 × 887 + 6 × 630) - (4 × 611 + 4 × 3 × 413) = 1,320 kJ/mol
