HW 1. Methane, CH4, is used as a fuel. The complete combustion of methane can be represented by the equation below.
(a) Explain why this reaction is exothermic in terms of the energy changes that take place during bond breaking and bond
making. [3]
(b) Use the bond enthalpy data to calculate
(i) Heat absorbs to break all the bonds of the reactants. [2,642 kJ]
(ii) Heat releases to make all the new bonds of the products. [3,330 kJ]
(iii) the enthalpy of combustion of methane. [-688 kJmol-1]
