Reaction energies

Haber process:

This process describe how to manufacture ammonia from nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas.

N2 + 3 H2 → 2 NH3

 To achieve higher yield and rate of reaction, iron with potassium hydroxide added to it is used as catalyst and pressure is set at around 200 atm and a compromise temperature 400-450 celsius degree is used.

  • E(NH3)=-56.55776873 a.u.
  • 2*E(NH3)=-113.1155375 a.u.
  • E(N2)=-109.52412868 a.u.
  • E(H2)=-1.17853936 a.u.
  • 3*E(H2)=-3.53561808 a.u.
  • ΔE=2*E(NH3)-[E(N2)+3*E(H2)]=-0.05579074 a.u.=-146.48 kJ/mol
  • The literature value is -92kJ/mol (3)
  • The reaction energy is negative which indicates that the reaction is exothermic and releasing energy.This means gaseous reactants have higher energy so ammonia is the more stable one.

Molecular orbitals:

For fluorine molecule, the valence electrons are in the two 2s orbitals and 3 2p orbitals.

This diagram shows overlap of the 2s orbitals of the two F atom. The two orbitals are in phase and symmetric with respect to the inversion center and if the M.O. is rotated around the internuclear axis it stays unchanged. This means the 2s orbitals from both F atom linearly combine to give a bonding of σ-symmetry and symmetry label g. Also the electrons in 2s oribtals have the lowest energy among these valence electrons so it overlaps to give the M.O. with the lowest energy.(2σg)

This diagram shows overlap of the 2s orbitals of the two F atom. The two orbitals are not in phase and asymmetric with respect to the inversion center and if the M.O. is rotated around the internuclear axis 180 degree it stays unchaged. This means the 2s orbitals from both F atom linearly combine to give an anti-bonding of σ-symmetry and symmetry label u. (2σu*) This orbital is low in energy.

This diagram shows overlap of the 2pz orbitals of the two F atom. The two orbitals are in phase and symmetric with respect to the inversion center and if the M.O. is rotated around the internuclear axis 180 degree it stays unchange. This means the 2pz orbitals from both F atom linearly combine to give a bonding of σ-symmetry and symmetry label g. (3σg)

This diagram shows overlap of the 2py orbitals of the two F atom. The two orbitals are in phase and asymmetric with respect to the inversion center and if the M.O. is rotated around the internuclear axis 180 degree it changes sign. This means the 2py orbitals from both F atom combine to give a bonding of π-symmetry and symmetry label u. (1πu)

This diagram shows overlap of the 2pz orbitals of the two F atom. The two orbitals are not in phase and asymmetric with respect to the inversion center and if the M.O. is rotated around the internuclear axis 180 degree it stays unchanged. This means the 2pz orbitals from both F atom combine to give an anti-bonding of σ-symmetry and symmetry label u. (3σu*) These anti-bonding orbiatls are unoccupied so it is the LUMO

Charge distribution:

F2 is a diatomic molecule consists of the same type of element. The atoms in the F2 are identical so the charge distribution is going to be uniform and same for each atom.
