Discuss About The Reaction Of Trichloroethylene

Question

Trichloroethylene is produced in a two-step reaction sequence. Ethylene is first chlorinated to yield tetrachloroethane, which is dehydrochlorinated to form trichloroethylene.

(1) C2H4 (g) + 2 Cl2 (g) à C2H2Cl4 (l) + H2 (g)  ΔĤr°= -385.76 kJ/mol

(2) C2H2Cl4 (l) à C2HCl3 (l) + HCl (g)

The standard heat of formation of liquid trichloroethylene is -276.2 kJ/mol.

Is reaction (1) exothermic or endothermic at 25°C? If this were the only reaction taking place, would you have to heat or cool the reactor to keep the temperature constant? If the reactor were adiabatic, what would the temperature do? What can you infer about the energy required to break the molecular bonds of the reactants and the energy released when the product bonds form?

 

Summary

The question belongs to Chemistry and it discusses about the reaction of trichloroethylene. This has been discussed in the solution detail.

    Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
