Estimate the heat released when ethene(CH2=CH2) reacts with HBr to giveCH3CH2Br. Bond enthalpies areC-H : 412 kJ/mol; C-C : 348 kJ/mol;C=C : 612 kJ/mol; C-Br : 276 kJ/mol;Br-Br : 193 kJ/mol; H-Br : 366 kJ/mol. Choose the correct answer:1. 1036 kJ/mol2. 58 kJ/mol3. 424 kJ/mol4. 200 kJ/mol5. 470 kJ/mol
Why is benzene less reactive than hexane in terms of stability of free radicals?
Cyclopropane decomposes fairly rapidly at moderate temperatures whereas cyclohexane is quite stable. Why is this the case?
