Ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl), a substance used as a topical anesthetic, is prepared by reaction of ethylene with hydrogen chloride:
C2H4(g)+HCl(g)→C2H5Cl(g)
ΔH∘ = -72.3 kJ.
1. How much PV work is done (in kilojoules), if 90.0g of ethylene and 130g of HCl are allowed to react at atmospheric pressure and the volume change is -71.9L ?
2. What is the value of ΔE (in kilojoules) for the reaction?
