Answer #1

1)

On reactant side we have:

4 C-H bond

2 O=O bond

Sum of BE(reactant) = 4*BE(C-H) + 2*BE(O=O)

= 4*413 + 2*498

= 2648 KJ

Answer: 2648 KJ

2)

On product side we have:

2 C=O bond

4 O-H bond

Sum of BE(products) = 2*BE(C=O) + 4*BE(O-H)

= 2*799 + 4*467

= 3466 KJ

Answer: 3466 KJ

3)

Use:

Delta H = BE(reactant) - BE(product)

= 2648 KJ - 3466 KJ

= -818 KJ

Answer: -818 KJ

= 6*BE(C-H) + 2*BE(C-O) + 3*BE(O=O) - 4*BE(C=O) - 6*BE(O-H)

= 6*414 + 2*360 + 3*498 - 4*707 - 6*464

= -914 KJ

Answer: -914 KJ
