question 16

Essay

The reaction below is used to produce methanol:
CO (g) + 2H2 (g) → CH3OH (l)△Hrxn = -128 kJ
(a) Calculate the C-H bond energy given the following data: The reaction below is used to produce methanol: CO (g) + 2H<sub>2</sub> (g) → CH<sub>3</sub>OH (l)△H<sub>rxn </sub>= -128 kJ (a) Calculate the C-H bond energy given the following data:   (b) The tabulated value of the (C-H)bond energy is 413 kJ/mol. Explain why there is a difference between the number you have calculated in (a)and the tabulated value. (b) The tabulated value of the (C-H)bond energy is 413 kJ/mol.
