Question

Calculate the heat of combustion of ethene
$C H_{2} = C H_{2} (g) + 3 O_{2} (g) \to 2 C O_{2} (g) + 2 H_{2} O (I)$
The bond energy data are given below
$C = C = 619 k J m o l^{- 1}$
$C - H = 414 k J m o l^{- 1}$
$O = O = 499 k J m o l^{- 1}$
$C = O = 724 k J m o l^{- 1}$
$O - H = 460 k J m o l^{- 1}$

Solution

$H e a t o f c o m b u s t i o n = Σ [b o n d e n e r g y o f r e a c t a n t s] - Σ [b o n d e n e r g y o f p r o d u c t s]$
$Δ H_{c} = [(3 \times 499) + 619 + (4 \times 414)] - [(2 \times 2 \times 724) + (2 \times 2 \times 460)] k J m o l^{- 1}$
$Δ H_{c} = [1497 + 619 + 1656] - [2896 + 1840] k J m o l^{- 1}$
$Δ H_{c} = 3772 - 4736 k J m o l^{- 1}$
$Δ H_{c} = - 964 k J m o l^{- 1}$
