Chapter 5, Problem 28Q

Consider this equation representing the process of cracking.

${\text{C}}_{16}{\text{H}}_{34}\to {\text{C}}_5{\text{H}}_{12}+{\text{C}}_{11}{\text{H}}_{22}$

1. a. Which bonds are broken and which bonds are formed in this reaction? Use Lewis structures to help answer this question.
2. b. Use the information from part a and Table 5.1 to calculate the energy change during this cracking reaction.
