QUESTION:

Experiments show that it takes 1656 kJ/mol to break all the bonds in methane \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\right)\) and 4006 kJ/mol to break all the bonds in propane \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8}\right)\). Based on these data, calculate the average bond enthalpy of the \(\mathrm{C}―\mathrm{C}\) bond.

QUESTION:

Experiments show that it takes 1656 kJ/mol to break all the bonds in methane \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\right)\) and 4006 kJ/mol to break all the bonds in propane \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8}\right)\). Based on these data, calculate the average bond enthalpy of the \(\mathrm{C}―\mathrm{C}\) bond.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

The structure of Methane is as follows;

                                               

Structure of methane shows it has four  bonds .

Thus  is utilized to break all the four  bonds.

 So the average bond enthalpy of  bonds is,
