Question

Some bond dissociation energies in kJ/mol are listed. 1°, 2°, 3° means primary, secondary,
tertiary.
1° C-H 423 2° C-H 413 3° C-H 404
1° C-CN 509 2° C-CN 506 3° C-CN 493
For the hypothetical reaction below, do two things:
1) Estimate the enthalpy change ΔH° for the reaction. Show your work in the space below.
2) Draw a circle around the molecule with the lower enthalpy.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

In the given reaction a primary cyano group is converted to a tertiary cyano group.

Now, in the overall reaction a primary cynano and tertiary C-H bond breaks in the reactant, whereas a tertiary cynano and primary C-H bond forms in the product.

Whenever bonds are formed energy is released (conventionally has -ve sign) and bonds are breakes energy is consumed (conventionally has +ve sign).

Here we will calculate the overall energy of the species taking positive values. The species with greater positive energy value will be considered as more stable (as conventionally it has higher negative energy i.e. lesser energy).
