Endothermic & Exothermic Reactions Example 2

In the chemical process called electron transfer, an electron is
transferred from one atom or molecule to another. (We will
talk about electron transfer extensively in Chapter 20.) A simple
electron transfer reaction is
A1g2 + A1g2¡A+1g2 + A-1g2 
For a representative nonmetal such as chlorine, is this process exothermic?

Endothermic Reactions are energy absorbing, bond breaking reactions.&nbsp;

The thermite reaction,
Fe2O3 + Al S Al2O3 + Fe
produces so much heat that the Fe product melts. This reaction
is used industrially to weld metal parts under water,
where a torch cannot be employed. It is also a favorite chemical
demonstration in the lecture hall (on a small scale).

plus iron makes iron oxide plus aluminum—would that
reaction have heat as a reactant or a product?

which converts the hydrogen produced into water.

Use Table 8.3 to estimate H for these two reactions. Why is
the conversion of methane to ethane more favorable when
oxygen is used?

Why is the conversion of methane to ethane more favorable when oxygen is used?

Exothermic vs Endothermic Chemical  Reactions

Correct, both the heat and work terms have negative signs.

This is just the pressure-volume work done by the system.

This is the pressure-volume work but is it done by the system not on the system.

This is just the pressure-volume work done by the system in L-atm.

The pressure-volume work must be converted from L-atm to J.
