Question

Calculate the energy required to break a carbon-carbon single bond (C-C) with a bond length of 1.54 Å using the average bond-dissociation energy of 347 kJ/mol for this type of bond.

Answer 1

The energy required to break a carbon-carbon single bond  C-C  can be found using the average bond-dissociation energy provided. In this case, the bond-dissociation energy is 347 kJ/mol. The bond length is not needed for this calculation, as the energy required to break the bond is independent of the bond length.Therefore, the energy required to break a carbon-carbon single bond  C-C  is 347 kJ/mol.
