Calculate the enthalpy change for the processCCl4(g) → C(g) + 4Cl(g)and calculate bond enthalpy of C–Cl in CCl4(g).ΔvapHθ (CCl4) = 30.5 kJ mol–1.ΔfHθ (CCl4) = –135.5 kJ mol–1.ΔaHθ (C) = 715.0 kJ mol–1, where ΔaHθ is enthalpy of atomisationΔaHθ (Cl2) = 242 kJ mol–1

Answer»

Calculate the enthalpy change for the process


CCl4(g) → C(g) + 4Cl(g)


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


ΔvapHθ (CCl4) = 30.5 kJ mol–1.


ΔfHθ (CCl4) = –135.5 kJ mol–1.


ΔaHθ (C) = 715.0 kJ mol–1, where ΔaHθ is enthalpy of atomisation


ΔaHθ (Cl2) = 242 kJ mol–1
