Here is another one that got me. It goes by bonds broken and formed? Which are these? And I know it is reactant values added minus sum of product values

Using bond-energy data, what is ∆H° for the following reaction?

CH3OH(g) H2S(g) → CH3SH(g) H2O(g)

Bond Bond Energy (kJ/mol)

C-H 411

C-O 358

O-H 459

C-S 272

S-H 363

A. 1883 kJ

B. 10 kJ

C. –1883 kJ

D. –10 kJ

E. 593 kJ

  1. Just sum all of the energies for breaking all of the bonds of the reactants and all of the energies for making the bonds of the products.  Breaking a bond is endothermic and making a bond is exothermic

    CH3OH(g) + H2S(g) → CH3SH(g) + H2O(g)

    DH = 3(C-H) + (C-O) + (O-H) + 2(S-H) + -3(C-H) + -(C-S) +  -(S-H) + 2(H-O)

    DH = 3(411) + 358 + 459 + 2(363) - 3(411) - 272 - 363 - 2(459)

    DH = -10 kJ

    The answer is (D)
