Interpretation: The average bond enthalpy of the
Concept introduction:
The amount of energy required to break a particular bond in one mole of gas molecules is known as bond enthalpy.
Bond enthalpy is directly proportional to the strength of the bond. Higher the bond enthalpy, stronger is the bond.
The breaking of bonds always leads to absorption of energy.
Formation of bonds always leads to release of energy.
The strength of a bond is determined using the values of bond enthalpy.
The process of breaking a bond involves the change of state of the system from higher stability to lower stability, due to which it always requires external energy for its initiation.
The process of formation of a bond involves the change of state of the system from lower stability to higher stability due to which it involves the release of energy.

- Write all resonance structures of chlorobenzene, C6H5Cl, a molecule with the same cyclic structure as benzene. In all structures, keep the CCl bond as a single bond. Which resonance structures are the most important?arrow_forwardUsing the standard enthalpy of formation data in Appendix G, calculate the bond energy of the carbon-sulfur double bond in CS2.arrow_forwardGiven the following data: NO2(g) NO(g) + O(g)H = 233 kJ 2O3(g) 3O2(g)H = 427 kJ NO(g) + O3(g) NO2(g) + O2(g)H = 199 kJ Calculate the bond energy for the O2 bond, that is, calculate H for: O2(g) 2O(g)H = ?arrow_forward
- hat is the enthalpy change for a process? Is enthalpy a state function? In what experimental apparatus are enthalpy changes measured?arrow_forwardUsing the bond dissociation enthalpies in Table 8.8, estimate the enthalpy of combustion of gaseous methane, CH4, to give water vapor and carbon dioxide gas.arrow_forwardUse average bond energies together with the standard enthalpy of formation of C( g) (718.4 kJ/mol) to estimate the standard enthalpy of formation of gaseous benzene, C6H6( g). (Remember that average bond energies apply to the gas phase only.) Compare the value you obtain using average bond energies to the actual standard enthalpy of formation of gaseous benzene,82.9 kJ/mol. What does the difference between these two values tell you about the stability of benzene?arrow_forward
