Calculate the enthalpy change for the process

CCl4(g)C(g)+4Cl(g)

and calculate bond enthalpy of C-Cl in CCl4(g)

ΔvapH(CCl4)=30.5 kJ mol1.

ΔfH(CCl4)=135.5 kJ mol1.

ΔaH(C)=715.0 kJ mol1.

where ΔaH is enthalpy of atomisation

ΔaH(Cl2)=242 kJ mol1.

Solution

The given chemical reactions are:

CCl4(l)CCl4(g)ΔvapH=30.5 kJ mol1.

C(g)+2Cl2(g)CCl4(g)ΔfH=135.5 kJ mol1.
C(s)C(g)ΔaH=715.0 kJ mol1.
Cl2(g)2Cl(g)ΔaH=242 kJ mol1.

Now for calculating enthalpy change for the process CCl4(g)C(g)+4Cl(g), we have to follow following algebric process

Equation(2)+2× Equation(3)Equation(1)Equation(4)

ΔH=ΔaH+2ΔaHCl2ΔvapHΔfH

=715+2×24230.5(135.5)

ΔH=1304 kJ mol1.

Now,

The bond enthalpy of CCl in CCl4=13044=326 kJ mol1.
