JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 5. Thermodynamics and thermochemistry

The heat of atomization of methane and ethane are \(360\,kJ/mol\) and \(620\,kJ/mol,\) respectively. The longest wavelength of light capable of breaking the \(C - C\) bond is (Avogadro number \(= 6.02 \times  10^{23},\) \(h = 6.62 \times 10^{-34}\,Js\) )

  1. A \(2.48 \times 10^4\,\,nm\)
  2. B \(1.49 \times 10^3\,\,nm\)
  3. C \(2.48 \times 10^3\,\,nm\)
  4. D \(1.49 \times 10^4\,\,nm\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.49 \times 10^3\,\,nm\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(C{H_4},\,4 \times B{E_{(C - H)}} = 360\,kJ/mol\) \(\therefore \,B{E_{(C - H)}} = 90{\kern 1pt} kJ/mol\) In \({C_2}{H_6},\,B{E_{(C - C)}} + 6 \times B{E_{(C - H)}} = 620\,kJ/mol\) \(\therefore \,B{E_{(C - C)}} = 80{\kern 1pt} kJ/mol\)…
