If, $C(s)+2H _2(g)\rightarrow CH _4(g);       \triangle H= -X _1 kcal$ 
   $C(g)+4H(g)\rightarrow CH _4(g);            \triangle H = -X _2 kcal$
   $CH _4(g) \rightarrow CH _3(g)+H(g); \triangle H = +Y kcal$
The average bond energy of C-Hbond in kcal $mol^{-1}$ is :

  1. $\frac{X _1}{4}$
  2. Y

  3. $\frac{X _2}{4}$
  4. $X _1$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The average C-H bond energy relates to atomization of methane. C(g) + 4H(g) → CH4(g) releases X2 kJ (4 bonds form). So average C-H bond energy = X2/4 kJ/mol. X1 is the formation from elements, not atomization from gaseous atoms.

Which is the correct order of bond energy of single, double and triple bonds between carbon atoms?

  1. $C-C > C= C > C \equiv C$
  2. $C= C > C \equiv C > C-C$
  3. $C \equiv C > C-C > C =C$
  4. $C \equiv C > C = C > C-C$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Carbon has all 4 valence electrons. So it easily bonds with other carbon atoms to form long chains Carbon atoms. Apart from single bond carbon also forms double bonds in compounds like alkenes or triple bonds in compounds like alkynes.

A carbon-carbon bond is very strong. The carbon to carbon triple bond has dissociation energy of $348 \frac{kJ}{mol}$, followed by a double bond with $614 \frac{kJ}{mol}$ and single bond having $839 \frac{kJ}{mol}$.

 The correct order of bond energy strength is option D.

Bond energies of H - H and CI - CI are $430 \ kJ mol^{-1}$ and $242 \ kJ mol^{-1}$ respectively. $\Delta H _f$ for HCl is $91 \ kJ mol^{-1}$ . What will be the bond energy of H - Cl bond (per mole value)?

  1. 672 kJ

  2. 182 kJ

  3. 245 kJ

  4. 88 kJ

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$\frac{1}{2} H _2 + \frac{1}{2} Cl _2 \rightarrow HCl$
$\Delta H _f(HCl) = 91 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$, H - H = 430 kJ $mol^{-1}$, Cl - Cl = 242 kJ $mol^{-1}$
$91 = \frac{1}{2} \times 430 + \frac{1}{2} \times 242 - B.E. (H - Cl)$
B.E. (H-Cl) = 245 kJ

B Correct answer
Explanation

$2CI _2 + 2H _2O \rightarrow 4HCI + O _2$   

From Hess' Law,  $\Delta H$ = B.E. of (2 X CI - CI) + (2 X 2 X O - H) - (4 X H - CI) + (O = O) 
                                      = 2 X 242.8 + 4 X 464 - 4 X 431.8 - 442               

                                      = 172.4 kJ $mol^{-1}$

The enthalpy of dissociation of $PH _3$ is $954$ kJ/mol and that of $P _2H _4$ is $1.485$ MJ/mol. What is the bond enthalpy of $P-P$ bond? 

  1. 213 kJ/mol

  2. 413 kJ/mol

  3. 200 kJ/mol

  4. Given data is incorrect

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
$PH _3\longrightarrow P+3H\quad \Delta H =954\ KJ\ mol^{-1}$

$\therefore \ 3\Delta H _{P-H}=\Delta ^rH\ \Rightarrow \ \Delta H _{P-H}=\dfrac {954}{3}KJ\ mol^{-1}$

Also given,
Enthalpy of dissociation of $P _2H _4$ is $1.485\ MJ/mol=1485\ KJ\ mol^{-1}$

$\therefore \ P _2H _4\longrightarrow 2P+4H\ \Delta ^rH=1485\ KJ\ mol^{-1}$

$\Rightarrow \ 4\Delta H _{P-H}+\Delta H _{P-P}=\Delta ^rH$

$\Rightarrow \ \Delta H _{P-P}= \Delta^r H-4\Delta H _{P-H}=1485-4\times \dfrac {954}{3}=213\ KJ\ mol^{-1}$

$\Rightarrow \ \Delta H _{P-P}=213\ KJ\ mol^{-1}$

Thus bond enthalpy of $P-P$ bond $=213\ KJ\ mol^{-1}$

Hence, the correct option is $\text{A}$
