25 This question is about alkenes. (a) The combustion of ethene is shown in equation 25.1 below. 22 C2H4(g) + 3O2(g)2CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) H = 1318 kJ mol1 equation 25.1 (i) Explain, in terms of bond breaking and bond forming, why a reaction can be exothermic.[1] (ii) Average bond enthalpies are shown in the table. Bond OH O=O CH C=O Average bond enthalpy /kJ mol1 +464 +498 +413 +805 Calculate the average bond enthalpy of the C=C bond. Use the average bond enthalpies in the table and equation 25.1. average bond enthalpy =kJ mol1 [3]<br />
 (b) An alkene D is a liquid at room temperature and pressure but can easily be vaporised. When vaporised, 0.1881 g of D produces 82.5 cm3 of gas at 101 kPa and 373 K. 23 Determine the molar mass and molecular formula of alkene D. Show all your working. molar mass =g mol1 molecular formula =[5] END OF QUESTION PAPER<br />
