Q83 / 160 · JIPMER 2010 · Chemistry

What is the $\Delta H$ of the reaction Figure 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 answer
    A
    1482 kJ
  • B
    1482 J
  • C
    1492 kJ
  • D
    1492 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'.
