Chapter 12, Problem 122IE
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

To determine:

The bond in polyvinyl chloride that have the lowest average bond enthalpy.

Solution:

The CCl bond has lowest bond enthalpy.

Explanation:

Polyvinyl chloride have CC , CH and CCl bonds. Their bond enthalpies are:

    CC bond =348kJ/mol

    CH bond =413kJ/mol

    CCl bond =328kJ/mol

Therefore, the bond with lowest average bond enthalpy is CCl bond. The electronegativity difference between carbon and chlorine is high, therefore the bond is readily broken. Hence it has lowest bond enthalpy.

Conclusion:

The CCl bond has lowest bond enthalpy.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine:

The bond which is most likely to break first.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine:

The overall enthalpy change for converting PVC to diamond.
