In 1998, scientists using a special type of electron microscope were able to measure the force needed to break a single chemical bond. If 2.0 × 10-9 N was needed to break a C–Si bond, estimate the bond enthalpy in kJ/mol. Assume that the bond has to be stretched by a distance of 2 Å (2 × 10-10 m) before it is broken.
