Question

à partir de dichlorure déthylène (clch₂ch₂cl) chauffé et mis sous pression, il est possible de former du chlorure de vinyle (ch₂chcl), qui se trouvera dans la composition du pvc. cette réaction suit léquation thermochimique suivante :
clch₂ch₂cl₍ₗ₎ → ch₂chcl₍ₗ₎ + hcl₍ₐq₎ δh = +34,3 kj/mol de ch₂chcl
a) cette réaction est-elle endothermique ou exothermique ?
b) si on veut produire 50,0 mol de chlorure de vinyle, combien dénergie doit-on utiliser ?
Part (a)
Step1: Recall Enthalpy Sign
For a reaction, if $\Delta H > 0$, it's endothermic (absorbs heat); if $\Delta H < 0$, exothermic (releases heat).
Here, $\Delta H = + 34.3\ \text{kJ/mol}$ (positive).
Step2: Classify Reaction
Since $\Delta H$ is positive, the reaction absorbs heat from surroundings. So it's endothermic.
Step1: Identify Molar Ratio
From the reaction: $1\ \text{mol}\ \text{CH}_2\text{CHCl}$ (vinyl chloride) is produced per $1\ \text{mol}$ of reactant, with $\Delta H = 34.3\ \text{kJ/mol}$ (energy absorbed per mol of product).
Step2: Calculate Energy for 50.0 mol
Energy ($Q$) = moles $\times$ enthalpy per mole.
$Q = 50.0\ \text{mol} \times 34.3\ \text{kJ/mol}$
Step3: Compute Result
$50.0 \times 34.3 = 1715\ \text{kJ}$ (or $1.72 \times 10^3\ \text{kJ}$ for significant figures).
