If heat of atomisation of CH4(g) is 1665kJmol-1 then the bond energy of C-H bond (in kjmol-1) will be
Step 1: Calculating the bond energy
We have, CH4(g)Methane→C(g)Carbon+4H(g)Hydrogen
Here in this reaction, the enthalpy of atomization is ∆H=1665kJmol-1
∴The bond energy C-H is
16654=416.2kJmol
Therefore the bond energy of C-H is 416kJmol
The enthalpy of atomisation for the reaction CH4(g)→C(g)+4H(g) is1665 kJ mol−1. What is the bond energy of C—H bond?
