MCQ
The bond energies of $C -C, C = C, H -H$ and $C -H$ bonds are $350, 600, 400$ and  $410\, kJ$ per mole respectively. The heat of hydrogenation of ethylene $(C_2H_4)$ is ......$ kJ\, mol^{-1}$
  • $-170$
  • B
    $-260$
  • C
    $-400$
  • D
    $-450$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-170$
a
$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {\,H\,\,\,\,\,H} \\ 
  {|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|} \\ 
  {H - C = C - H} 
\end{array}$ $+$ $H-H$ $\to $ $\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {\,\,H\,\,\,\,\,\,H} \\ 
  {|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|} \\ 
  {H - C - C - H} \\ 
  {|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|} \\ 
  {H\,\,\,\,\,H} 
\end{array}$

$\Delta \mathrm{H}$ reaction $=\Sigma \mathrm{B} . \mathrm{E} .$ (Rectant) $-\Sigma \mathrm{B} . \mathrm{E} .$ (product)

$=[\mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E} \cdot(4 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H})+\mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E} \cdot(\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{C})+\mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E} \cdot(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C})]$

$-[\mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E} \cdot 6(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H})+\mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E} \cdot(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C})]$

$=\mathrm{B.E.}(\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{C})+\mathrm{B.E.}(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{H})-2 \mathrm{B} \cdot \mathrm{E} \cdot(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H})-$

$\mathbf{B . E .}(C-C)$

$=600+400-2 \times 410-350\, \mathrm{kJ}$

$=-170\, \mathrm{kJ}$
