Question: This was a computational chemistry lab calculating the entropy, enthalpy, and free energy of different diels-alder reactions. The values I have: ethene + cis-1,3-butadiene cyclopentadiene
This was a computational chemistry lab calculating the entropy, enthalpy, and free energy of different diels-alder reactions.
The values I have:
| ethene + cis-1,3-butadiene | cyclopentadiene + maleic anhydride (ENDO) | cyclopentadiene + maleic anhydride (EXO) | furan + maleic anhydride (ENDO) | furan + maleic anhydride (EXO) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| change in enthalpy (kcal/mol) | 433.7 | -27.9 | -29.0 | -16.3 | -18.1 |
| change in entropy (cal/(mol*K) | -51.2 | -51.4 | -51.4 | -50.7 | -50.7 |
| change in free energy (kcal/mol) | 449.1 | -11.9 | -13.7 | -1.2 | -3.0 |
The question:
Calculate
H and
S for each reaction. Do the magnitudes of these thermodynamic parameters match what you expect for a cycloaddition reaction? Explain.
I am not sure what the answer would be. I don't know what you would expect for a cycloaddition reaction (because I thought diels-alder was cycloaddition reaction).
