### Bond Enthalpy Calculation for Reaction

**Calculate the ΔH_rxn** using bond enthalpies for the balanced equation below (Lewis structures also provided).

#### Chemical Reaction:
\[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_4(g) + \text{H}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_6(g) \]

- **C₂H₄ (g) Structure**: 
  - An ethene molecule with a double bond between two carbon atoms. Each carbon is also single-bonded to two hydrogen atoms.

```

- **H₂ (g) Structure**:
  - A hydrogen molecule with a single bond.
  
```
H—H
```

- **C₂H₆ (g) Structure**:
  - An ethane molecule with a single bond between two carbon atoms. Each carbon is also single-bonded to three hydrogen atoms.

#### Bond Enthalpy Values:

| Bond  | ΔH (kJ/mol) |
|-------|-------------|
| C=C   | 611         |
| C—H   | 414         |
| H—H   | 436         |
| C—C   | 347         |

#### Possible Answers for ΔH_rxn:
- -219 kJ
- -128 kJ
- 286 kJ
- -564 kJ
