Question : 15
Total: 22
Calculate the enthalpy change for the process, CCl4(g)C(g)+4Cl(g) and calculate bond enthalpy of C – Cl in CCl4(g).
ΔvapH°(CCl4) = 30.5 kJmol1,ΔfH°(CCl4) = –135.5 kJmol1,ΔaH°(C) = 715.0 kJmol1, where ΔaH° is enthalpy of atomisation ΔaH°(Cl2) = 242 kJmol1.
Solution:  
given : CCl4(g)C(g)+4Cl(g) , ΔvapH°(CCl4) = 30.5 kJmol1 ... (i)
C(s)+2Cl2(g)CCl4(l) , ΔfH°(CCl4) = –135.5 kJmol1 ... (ii)
C(s)C(g) , ΔaH° = 715.0 kJmol1 ... (iii)
Cl2(g)2Cl(g) , ΔaH° = 242 jmol1 ... (iv)
Required equation is : CCl4(g)C(g)+4Cl(g) ; ΔH = ?
From Hess’s law,
eqn.(iii) + 2 × eqn.(iv) – eqn.(i) – eqn.(ii) gives required equation :
∴ ΔH = 715.0 + 2(242) – 30.5 – (–135.5) = 1304 kJmol1
Bond enthalpy of C – Cl in CCl4 (average value) =
1304
4
= 326 kJmol1
