The bond energy for C-H bond is about 413 kJ/mol in CH4 but 380 kJ/mol in CHBr3. Although these values are relatively close in magnitude, they are different. Explain why they are different. Does the fact that the bond energy is lower in CHBr3, make any sense? Why?
The molecule 2-butene, C4H8, can undergo a geometric change called cis-trans isomerization. (Figure 1) Such transformations can be induced by light and are the key to human vision. Rotation about the C=C bond, which breaks the π bond, is required for the isomerization.
The average bond energy (enthalpy) for a C=C double bond is 614 kJ/mol and that of a C−C single bond is 348 kJ/mol. Estimate the energy needed to break only the π bond of the double bond of 2-butene.Express your answer numerically in joules per molecule.
A certain element X forms two compounds with hydrogen, XH3 and X2H4 (H2X–XH2). The total bond enthalpies of XH3(g) and X2H4(g) are 846 kJ/mol and 1341 kJ/mol, respectively. What is the average bond enthalpy of the X–X bond?
