NEET Chemistry Enthalpy MCQ Question
Calculate the enthalpy change (ΔrH) for the reaction CH4(g) → C(g) + 4H(g) using the given bond enthalpy values: CH4(g) → CH3(g) + H(g); ΔbondH = +427 kJ/mol, CH3(g) → CH2(g) + H(g); ΔbondH = +439 kJ/mol, CH2(g) → CH(g) + H(g); ΔbondH = +452 kJ/mol, CH(g) → C(g) + H(g); ΔbondH = +347 kJ/mol.
+1665 kJ/mol
-1665 kJ/mol
+500 kJ/mol
-500 kJ/mol
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The total enthalpy change for breaking all C-H bonds in CH4 is calculated by summing the bond enthalpies: +427 + 439 + 452 + 347 = +1665 kJ/mol.
