MCQ
Calculate the enthalpy for the following reaction using the given bond energies $(KJ/mole)$ :-

$(C-H= 414; H-O = 463; H-Cl=431;$$ C-Cl=326, C-O=335)$

$CH_3-OH(g) + HCl(g) \rightarrow CH_3-Cl(g) + H_2O(g)$

 

  • $-23$
  • B
    $-42$
  • C
    $-59$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-23$
a
$ \Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{r}}= \Sigma \mathrm{B} . \text { E(Reactant) }-\Sigma \mathrm{B} . \mathrm{E} \text { (Product) } $

$=[3 \times \mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{CH})+1 \times \mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{OH})+1 \times \mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O})+1 \times \mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{HCl})] $

$-[3 \times \mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{CH})+1 \times \mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl})+2 \times \mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{OH})] $

$=-23\, \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol} $
