A Correct answer
Explanation

$\Delta H $ of the given reaction,
$C(g) + 4H(g) \rightarrow CH _4(g)$ 
can be written as, $\Delta H = \text {heat released in formation of 4 C-H bonds in CH} _4$
=> $\Delta H = -4\times \text{bond dissociation energy of C-H bond in CH} _4$
=> $-397.8 = -4\times \text{bond dissociation energy of C-H bond in CH} _4$
=> $\text{bond dissociation energy of C-H bond in CH} _4 = 99.45Kcal$
Hence, answer is option A.

C Correct answer
Explanation

$H-H\longrightarrow H+H\quad \quad ;\quad \Delta H$

$\Delta H$ is the bond energy
Therefore, $2\Delta H={ \Delta  } _{ f }H$
            $\therefore \quad \Delta H=\dfrac { { \Delta  } _{ f }\left( H \right)  }{ 2 } $
                             $=\dfrac { 218 }{ 2 } KJ/mol$
                    $\Delta H=109KJ/mol$

C Correct answer
Explanation

${C} _{2}{H} _{5}-S-{C} _{2}{H} _{5}+S(s)\rightarrow {C} _{2}{H} _{5}-S-S-{C} _{2}{H} _{5}$
$\Delta { H } _{ reaction }=\sum { { \Delta H } _{ f(products) }^{ o } } +\sum { \Delta { H } _{ f(reactants) }^{ o } } $

D Correct answer
Explanation

$ \Delta H _R = (bond energy) _R - (bond energy) _P$

$225 =( [1410+330]-[\Delta H _{c\equiv c} + 2*350])$
$\therefore \Delta H _{c\equiv c} = 815KJ/mol$

Given that, bond energies of $H-H$ and $Cl-Cl$ ar $430kJ/mol$ and $240kJ/mol$ respectively. $\Delta {H} _{f}$ for $HCl$ is $-90kJ/mol$. Bond enthalpy of $HCl$ is:

  1. $380kJ{ mol }^{ -1 }$
  2. $425kJ{ mol }^{ -1 }$
  3. $245kJ{ mol }^{ -1 }$
  4. $290kJ{ mol }^{ -1 }$

B Correct answer
Explanation

$H-H+Cl-Cl\rightarrow 2H-Cl$

${ \Delta H } _{ f }\left( HCl \right) =$ Bond energy of H-H + Bond energy of $Cl-Cl$ - 2(Bond energy of $H-Cl$)
$\therefore $  -90=430+240-(Bond enthalpy of HCl) $\times $ 2
$\therefore $  Bond enthalpy of HCl $=\dfrac { 430+240+90 }{ 2 } =380KJ/mol$
