Chapter 6.1, Problem 2ATS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The $\Delta \text{H}°$ for the conversion of compound 1 to 2 is to be estimated. The C=C bond energy is given as 607 kJ/mol.

  

Concept introduction: The enthalpy change of the reaction can be defined as the difference of the $\Delta \text{H}°$ of the reactant and product. It involves the total bond broken and bond formed during the chemical reaction.

  ${\text{ΔH}}_{\text{(reaction)}}\text{ = ΣB}{\text{.E}}_{\text{(reactant bonds broken)}}\text{ - ΣB}{\text{.E}}_{\text{(product bonds formed)}}$
