The industrial degreasing solvent methylene chloride,CH2Cl2, is prepared from methane by reaction with chlorine:
CH4(g)+2Cl2(g)?CH2Cl2(g)+2HCl(g)

Use the following data to calculate ? H? in kilojoules for the reaction:
CH4(g)+Cl2(g)?CH3Cl(g)+HCl(g)?H?=?98.3kJCH3Cl(g)+Cl2(g)?CH2Cl2(g)+HCl(g)?H?=?104kJ

Express your answer using three significant figures.

Answer #1

CH4(g)+Cl2(g)------------ > CH3Cl(g)+HCl(g) ?H?=?98.3kJ 1st equation

CH3Cl(g)+Cl2(g)------------>CH2Cl2(g)+HCl(g)   ?H?=?104kJ 2nd equation

for reaction :

CH4(g)+2Cl2(g)------------> CH2Cl2(g)+2HCl(g) delta H = ??

1st equation + 2nd equation gives rise to

CH4(g)+2Cl2(g)------------>CH2Cl2(g)+2HCl(g) which we want

delta H of reacction = -98.3+(-104) = -202.3kJ/mol
