Chapter 9, Problem 122P(choose chapter or problem)
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,
