Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? Is the reaction favorable or unfavora

Question

Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? Is the reaction favorable or unfavorable at room temperature (25 degree C)? What is the value of delta G degree under standard conditions? The methoxide ion (CH_3O^-) reacts with bromoethane in a single step according to the following equation Identify the bonds broken and formed and draw curved arrows to represent the flow of electrons during the reaction. Predict the products of each of the following reactions by interpreting the flow of electrons as indicated by the curved arrows. Draw correct structures of the products

Explanation / Answer

a)
since delta H is negative, it is exothermic reaction

b)
since Keq > 1, the reaction is favourable at room temperature

c)
T = 25 oC = 298 K

delta Go = delta Ho - T*delta So
= -44 KJ/mol - 298 K*(-0.12 KJ/K.mol)
= -8.24 KJ/mol
