To determine the bond energy of each carbon-oxygen double bond in carbon dioxide (CO₂), we can analyze the information given in the question.
-
The chemical formula for carbon dioxide (CO₂) indicates that there are 2 carbon-oxygen double bonds in each molecule of CO₂.
-
The total bond energy found in all the bonds of carbon dioxide is given as 1,472 kJ.
Since there are 2 carbon-oxygen double bonds in CO₂, we can calculate the bond energy of each double bond as follows:
\[ \text{Bond energy of each double bond} = \frac{\text{Total bond energy}}{\text{Number of double bonds}} \] \[ \text{Bond energy of each double bond} = \frac{1,472 \text{ kJ}}{2} = 736 \text{ kJ} \]
So, the bond energy of each carbon-oxygen double bond in carbon dioxide is 736 kJ.
Thus, the correct answer is:
736 kJ.
