Thermodynamics

Question:

(a) What is bond energy? Why is it called enthalpy of atomisation?
(b) Calculate the bond energy of C-H bond, given that the heat of formation of CH4, heat of sublimation of carbon and heat of dissociation of H2  are – 74.8, + 719.6, 435.4 kj mol-1 respectively.

Answer:

(a) Bond energy is the amount of energy required to dissociate one mole of bonds present between the atoms in the gaseous phase. As the molecules dissociate completely into atoms in the gaseous phase therefore bond energy of a diatomic molecule is called enthalpy of atomisatioij.
