What is the $\Delta H$ of the reaction
The average bond energies of $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl}$ bond and $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ bond are 416 kJ and $325 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ respectively.
The average bond energies of $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl}$ bond and $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ bond are 416 kJ and $325 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ respectively.- Correct answerA1482 kJ
- B1482 J
- C1492 kJ
- D1492 J
Solution
In the reaction, two moles of $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ bonds and two moles of $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl}$ bonds are broken.
Hence, energy absorbed
$\begin{aligned}
& =2 \times 416+2 \times 325 \\
& =1482 \mathrm{~kJ}
\end{aligned}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
