Chapter 7.6, Problem 7.10P
Teflon-coated frying pans routinely endure temperatures that would cause polyethylene or polypropylene to oxidize and decompose. Decomposition of polyethylene is initiated by free-radical abstraction of a hydrogen atom by O2 Bond-dissociation energies of C—H bonds are about 400 kJ/mol, and C—F bonds are aboul 460 kJ/mol. The

The average bond enthalpies of the C¬F and C¬Cl bonds are 485 kJ/mol and 328 kJ/mol, respectively. Given the fact that O2, N2, and O in the upper atmosphere absorb most of the light with wavelengths shorter than 240 nm, would you expect the photodissociation of C ¬ F bonds to be significant in the lower atmosphere?
In CF3Cl the C¬Cl bond-dissociation energy is 339 kJ>mol. In CCl4 the C¬Cl bond-dissociation energy is 293 kJ>mol. What is the range of wavelengths of photons that can cause C¬Cl bond rupture in one molecule but not in the other?
The breaking of the O-O bond in peroxydisulfuryl
difluoride (FO,SOOSO,F) gives FO,SO:
(FO2SO)2 2 2 FO2SO
The compound on the left of this equation is a colorless
liquid that boils at 67.1°C. Its vapor, when heated to
about 100°C, turns brown as the product of the reaction
forms. Suppose that, in a sample of the vapor, the intensity
of the brown color doubles between 100°C and 110°C
and that the total pressure increases only by the 2.7%
predicted for an ideal gas. Estimate AH° for the preceding
reaction.
