Consider the reaction ch4(g) + x2(g) → ch3x(g) + hx(g), where x is a halogen-like atom (group 7a). calculate ∆h for this reaction if bond energy tables give the following values: c h : 416 kj/mol x x : 230 kj/mol h x : 277 kj/mol c x : 222 kj/mol answer in units of kj/mol.

ΔH of reaction is -147 kJ/mol

Explanation:

For the reaction:

CH₄(g) + X₂(g) → CH₃X(g) + HX(g)

It is possible to obtain ΔHr of reaction from the sum of ΔH of products minus ΔH of reactants:

ΔHr = ΔH CH₃X + ΔH HX - (ΔH CH₄ + ΔH X₂) (1)

The ΔH of each compound is obtained from bond energies thus:

ΔH CH₃X = 3×C-H + C-X = 3×416 kJ/mol + 222 kJ/mol = 1470 kJ/mol

ΔH HX = H-X = 277 kJ/mol

ΔH CH₄ = 4×C-H = 4×416kJ/mol = 1664 kJ/mol

ΔH X₂ = X-X = 230 kJ/mol

Replacing in (1):

ΔHr = 1470 kJ/mol + 277kJ/mol - (1664 kJ/mol + 230 kJ/mol) = -147 kJ/mol

I hope it helps!

it should be all of them because it asks if you included all of those in your answer
