use bond enthalpy values to calculate the enthalpy change for the following reaction. Then, label if the reaction is endothermic or exothermic. CH4(g)+Br2(g) --> CH3Br(g) + HBr(g)

Answer 1

Breaking bond enthalpies:
C-H: +413 kJ/mol (4 bonds total)
Br-Br: +192 kJ/mol
Forming bond enthalpies:
C-Br: -276 kJ/mol
H-Br: -366 kJ/mol

Overall enthalpy change:
(4 x 413 kJ/mol) + 192 kJ/mol - 276 kJ/mol - 366 kJ/mol = -56 kJ/mol

The enthalpy change is negative, indicating an exothermic reaction.

Answer 2

is that correct

Answer 3

Yes, that is correct.

Answer 5

Sure, here is the full calculation with units:

Bond enthalpies:
C-H: +413 kJ/mol (4 bonds total)
Br-Br: +192 kJ/mol
C-Br: -276 kJ/mol
H-Br: -366 kJ/mol

Enthalpy change:
ΔH = (4 x C-H) + Br-Br - C-Br - H-Br
ΔH = (4 x 413 kJ/mol) + 192 kJ/mol - 276 kJ/mol - 366 kJ/mol
ΔH = 1652 kJ/mol + 192 kJ/mol - 276 kJ/mol - 366 kJ/mol
ΔH = 1202 kJ/mol - 642 kJ/mol
ΔH = -56 kJ/mol

The negative sign indicates an exothermic reaction.
