Hess Law! Question
« on: December 01, 2008, 10:48:48 PM »
This question is also leaving me in confusion

Determine the homolytic C-H bond strength in CH3OH employing the following data.
DfH (CH3OH) = -201.6 kJ mol-1
DfH (H) = 218 kJ mol-1
DfH (HBr) = -36 kJ mol-1
DfH (Br) = 111.9 kJ mol-1

CH3OH + Br  CH2OH + HBr k(300K) = 1 x 10^6 M-1s-1; k(350K) = 4 x 10^8 M-1s-1

CH2OH + HBr  CH3OH + Br k(300K) = 1 x 10^7 M-1s-1; k(350K) = 7.7 x 10^8 M-1s-1

My friend told me i gota make up serieas of chemical reactions and somehow use Hess's Law to caculute the C-H bond strength how am not sure? any help out thier will be much appreciated thankz!

Did you figure out how to do it?
I'm assuming you're in my class, and I haven't figured it out yet and I'm kinda freaking out seeing as its due in an hour.
At least its only worth like 1.67% of our final mark.
