Question

Using the table of bond dissociation enthalpies, calculate ?H° for the reaction A.

(Use the entries for propene and propenyl halides for the calculation of cyclohexene and cyclohexenyl halides, respectively. Pay attention to the algebraic sign of your answer!)

Explanation / Answer

In the first step of reaction A,

one CH2=CHCH2-H bond is broken and one H-I bond is formed.

Thus dH for this step is : 372-297 = 75 kJ/mol

In the second step, one I-I bond is broken and one CH2=CHCH2-I bond is formed

Thus dH for this step is : 151-192 = -41 kJ/mol

Net dH = 75-41 = 34 kJ/mol
