From the following bond energies : $\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{H}$ bond energy : $431.37 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ $\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{C}$ bond energy : $606.10 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}$ bond energy : $336.49 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ bond energy : $410.50 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ Enthalpy for the reaction, will be :
  1. $553.0 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  2. $1523.6 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  3. $-243.6 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  4. $-120.0 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

Solution

$\Delta \mathrm{H}=$ dissociation energy of reactant - Bond dissociation of energy of product. $\begin{aligned} \Delta \mathrm{H}= & (606.10+4 \times 410.5+431.37) \\ & -(6 \times 410.50+336.49) \\ & =-120.0 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \end{aligned}$
