Calculate the enthalpychange for the process

CCl4(g) → C(g) + 4Cl(g)

and calculate bond enthalpy of C–Cl in CCl4(g).

ΔvapHθ (CCl4) = 30.5 kJ mol–1.

ΔfHθ (CCl4) = –135.5 kJ mol–1.

ΔaHθ (C) = 715.0 kJ mol–1, where ΔaHθ is enthalpy ofatomisation

ΔaHθ (Cl2) = 242 kJ mol–1



Answer -

The chemical equationsimplying to the given values of enthalpies are:

 ΔvapHθ = 30.5 kJ mol–1

 ΔaHθ = 715.0 kJ mol–1

 ΔaHθ = 242 kJ mol–1

 ΔfH = –135.5 kJ mol–1

Enthalpychange for the given process can be calculated usingthe following algebraic calculations as:

Equation (ii) + 2 ×Equation (iii) – Equation (i) – Equation (iv)

ΔH = ΔaHθ(C) + 2ΔaHθ (Cl2) – ΔvapHθ – ΔfH

= (715.0 kJ mol–1) + 2(242 kJ mol–1) – (30.5 kJ mol–1) – (–135.5 kJ mol–1)

ΔH = 1304 kJ mol–1

Bond enthalpy of C–Cl bond in CCl4(g)

=326 kJ mol–1
