NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
According to Hess's law, how can bond enthalpies be calculated?
Options
- ABy measuring the temperature change during bond formation.
- BBy averaging the bond strengths of different compounds.
- CBy calculating the enthalpy change for a reaction using bond enthalpies of reactants and products.
- DBy measuring the electrical conductivity of a substance.
Correct answer
C. By calculating the enthalpy change for a reaction using bond enthalpies of reactants and products.
Step-by-step solution
Hess's law allows us to calculate bond enthalpies by determining the enthalpy change of a reaction and using bond enthalpies of the substances involved.
