Answer:
-1104 kJ
Explanation:
C + O=O ⟶ O=C=O
Bonds: O=O 2C=O
D/kJ·mol⁻¹: 494 799
The formula relating ΔHrxn and bond dissociation energies (D) is
ΔHrxn = Σ(Dreactants) – Σ(Dproducts)
(Note: This is an exception to the rule. All other thermochemical reactions are “products – reactants”. With bond energies, it’s “reactants – products”. The reason comes from the way we define bond energies.)
For the reactants:
Σ(Dreactants) = 1 × 494 = 494 kJ
For the products:
Σ(Dproducts) = 2 × 799 = 1598 kJ
For the reaction :
ΔHrxn = 494 – 1598 = -1104 kJ
