Question

8. When ethanol (alcohol) is processed by the body it is oxidized to acetic acid. The reaction is given below. Provide an estimate of the enthalpy for this chemical reaction. CH3CO,H + H,0, (10 points) 0 atoms on the other carbon and one OH bond) Reaction: CH3CH2OH@ + 02 (Note: Acetic acid has 3H atoms on one carbon, 2

please use the reference confused how to get from reference thank you. it's practice for me.

Answer 1

The answer is

Enthalpy of Chemical reaction can be Couculated by Using bond enthalpies 04 Old bond broken and bond enthalpies 04 new bond formed. CHACH, OH (l) +0,19) CHCO,HC) +1,014) of H-c-c-O-H +0=0 --C-C-0-Ht o EL 11 Here AH = EB.E of reactants-E13 P of product OP E BE ( bonds booken) -EBE Cbonds foomed Here AH = 5B A R.DC- H B B + B.6 + B.E O - H C -0 0-0 - (3B.E+BE+ B.B Т-1) Сс Сб + B.Eco + Bibo 12B:M) In the reference the data AH = EBR (bonds broken)-SBE Chonds 4ormed is useful TO calculate at the bond enthawion of all the above mentioned bonds should be given.
