Enthalpy of polymerisation of ethylene, as represented by the reaction, $ nCH _2 = CH _2 \rightarrow {(-CH _2- CH _2-)} _n   $ is -100kJ per mole of ethylene.Given bond enthalpy of $ C = C $ bond is 600 kJ$ mol^{-1} $ , enthalpy of $ C - C $ bond (in kJ mol) will be :

  1. 2940 kcal $ mol^{-1} $
  2. 350 kJ $ mol^{-1} $
  3. 700 kJ $ mol^{-1} $
  4. 1470 kcal $ mol^{-1} $

B,D Correct answer
Explanation

$ nCH _2 = CH _2 \rightarrow (-CH _2 - CH _2- ) _n    \Delta H $= 100 KJ/mole
Double bond of ethylene converted to two single bonds.
$ \Delta H $ = - 100 =$ B.E. _{C=C} - 2 B.E. _{C-C}$ 
$ \implies $ - 100 = 600 - $ 2 \times B.E. _{C-C} \implies B.E. _{C-C}$ = 350 KJ/mole = 1470kcal$mol^{-1}$

C Correct answer
Explanation

$H _2A\overset {K _1}{\rightleftharpoons} HA^-+H^+$


$\Rightarrow K _1=\cfrac {[HA^-][H^+]}{[H _2A]}$  $\longrightarrow (1)$


$HA^-\overset {K _2}{\rightleftharpoons} H^++A^{2-}$

$\Rightarrow K _2=\cfrac {[H^+][A^{2-}]}{[HA^-]}$    $\longrightarrow (2)$

Overall dissociation constant $K$

$\Rightarrow K=\cfrac {[H^+]^2[A^{2-}]}{[H _2A]}=K _1\times K _2$

$=1\times 10^{-5}\times 5\times 10^{-10}$

$=5\times 10^{-15}$ .

$\triangle H _{f} (C _{2}H _{4}) = 12.5\ kcal$

Heat of atomisation of $C = 171\ kcal$
Bond energy of $H _{2} = 104.3\ kcal$
Bond energy $C - H = 99.3\ kcal$

What is $C = C$ bond energy?

  1. $140.9\ kcal$
  2. $49\ kcal$
  3. $40\ kcal$
  4. $76\ kcal$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

C2H4 formation: 2C(s) + 2H2(g) → C2H4; ΔfH = 12.5 kcal. Atomization: 2C(s) → 2C(g); ΔH = 2(171) = 342 kcal. 2H2(g) → 4H(g); ΔH = 2(104.3) = 208.6 kcal. Total atomization = 550.6 kcal. This forms 4 C-H bonds (4×99.3 = 397.2) and 1 C=C bond. BE(C=C) = 550.6 - 397.2 - 12.5 = 140.9 kcal.

  2. $+1523.6\ kJ\ mol^{-1}$
  3. $-243.6\ kJ\ mol^{-1}$
  4. $-120.0\ kJ\ mol^{-1}$

D Correct answer
Explanation

Delta H = Sum(BE reactants) - Sum(BE products). Reactants: 1(C=C) + 4(C-H) + 1(H-H) = 606.1 + 4(410.5) + 431.37 = 606.1 + 1642 + 431.37 = 2679.47. Products: 1(C-C) + 6(C-H) = 336.49 + 6(410.5) = 336.49 + 2463 = 2799.49. Delta H = 2679.47 - 2799.49 = -120.02 kJ/mol.

Dissociation of water takes place in two steps:
$H _2O \rightarrow H^+ + OH^-$; $\Delta H$ = +497.8 kJ
$OH^- \rightarrow H^+ + O^{2-}$; $\Delta H$ = +428.5 kJ
What is the bond energy of O - H bond?

  1. 463.15 kJ $mol^{-1}$
  2. 428.5 kJ $mol^{-1}$
  3. 69.3 kJ $mol^{-1}$
  4. 926.3 kJ $mol^{-1}$

A Correct answer
Explanation

In given 2 reactions, $\Delta H$ is basically representing bond energies of H-O bond. So, our answer should be average of these two $\Delta H$ values.
Hence, Average of two bond dissociation energies:    $\frac{497.8 + 428.5}{2}$ = 463.15kJ $mol^{-1}$

The dissociation energy of $CH _4$ and $C _2H _6$ are respectively 360 and 620 kcal /mole. the bond energy $C-C$ is:

  1. 260 kcal /mole

  2. 180 kcal /mole

  3. 130 kcal / mole

  4. 80 kcal / mole

D Correct answer
Explanation
Dissociation of energy of $CH _4$ base
=$\cfrac {\text{dissociation energy of }{CH _4}}{4}=\cfrac {360}{4}=90Kcal/mole$

Dissociation energy of $C _2H _6$

620=1(B.E of C-C bond+ 6 B.E of C-H bond)

620=B.E of C-C bond +6 $\times $90

B.E of C-C bond=620-540=80 kcal / mole
