Calculate the average C—C bond strength in cyclopropane (in kJ/mol). Its combustion and the experimental enthalpy of reaction are:

C3H6(g) + 4.5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(g) ΔHºrxn = -1,957.7 kJ/mol

Average bond strentgh (kj/mol):

O - H = 463

C - H = 414

C - C = 347

O -- O = 498 (DOUBLE BOND)

C -- O = 745 (DOUBLE BOND)

C -- O (CO2 = 799)

Since all reactants and products are in the gaseous state, bond energies may be used to estimate the enthalpy of reaction. Do not use the standard C—C bond strength, leave the C—C bond strength as an unknown and solve for its value.

The combustion of methane, CH4, releases 890.4 kj/mol of heat. That is, when one mole of methane is burned, 890.4 kj are give off to the surroundings. This means that the products have less energy stored in the bonds than the reactants. Thus, for the reaction: CH4(G) + 2 O (g) -> CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (I) deltaH= -890.4kj/mol. A) what is the enthalpy change when 2.00 mol of CH4 are burned? B)what is the enthalpy change when 22.4g...

What is the heat of combustion (Δ H ° rxn ) for acetylene (C 2 H 2 ) , assuming that the combustion products are CO 2 ( g ) and H 2 O( g ). Hint make sure to balance the equation. Instead of determining heats of reaction from heats of formation we sometime use average bond dissociation energies to calculate heats of reaction. Why would we need to use bond dissociation energies and how would your formula change?...
