Consider the following chemical reaction between component A and B:
A(?) + 2B(g) → C(g)+ 3D(l) …..ΔH°r = −2253.2 kJ
i. State whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
ii. Based on the value of heat of reaction, explain the chemical reaction above in terms of the energy associated with breaking or formation of molecular bonds.
iii. Consider a similar reaction of A and B as the one shown above. However, the reaction now generates D in vapor form instead of liquid. Explain how the heat of reaction value differs from the one shown above.
iv. If the above reaction occurs in an isothermal system where there is no work interaction and both kinetic and potential energy changes are too small such that they are negligible, write the energy balance for the system.
Water (H₂O) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) are liquids at room temperature. Since one is polar
and the other is nonpolar, the 2 do not mix. lodine (1₂) is a diatomic molecule that exists as a purple
solid at room temperature. The structure of each of these molecules is shown in the figure. The
second figure shows a test tube containing the two liquids (H₂O & CC₁4) plus iodine (1₂) which
when dissolves gives a purple-pink color to the solution.
HO
Which solvent does the iodine dissolve in?
iodine dissolves in water because opposites attract
iodine dissolves in water because they are both polar
O iodine dissolves in carbon tetrachloride because they are both nonpolar
O iodine dissolves in carbon tetrachloride because both iodine and chlorine are halogens

- Describe how the bond angles in TeF4 and BRF5 deviate from those found in a trigonal bipyramidal and an octahedron, respectively. In TeF4, the lone pair of electrons repels the Te-F bonding pairs, causing the F-Te-F angles to be smaller than v in the ideal trigonal bipyramid. In BrF5, the lone pair is located perpendicular v to the plane of four of the F atoms, giving a square pyramid v geometry to the molecule. The angle between the four E in the plane and the F above the plane will be less than v 90° due to lone pair repulsion. The F-Br-F angles in the plane will remain DEC étv MacBook Air DD F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F2 F3 @ # 2$ 3 4 6. 8.
