Sulfuric acid is the industrial chemical produced in greatest quantity worldwide. About 90 billion pounds are produced each year in the United States alone. Write the Lewis structure for sulfuric acid, H2SO4, which has twooxygen atoms and two OH groups bonded to the sulfur.
In chemical reactions, heat is converted into chemical energy (the potential energy stored
in chemical bonds) or vice versa. Bond energy is the energy required to break one mole of
the bond in the gas phase. Since it takes energy to break a bond, bond energies are
always positive. Conversely, energy is released when bonds are formed. Thus, the
enthalpy change for a reaction can be approximated from
Part A
Calculate the bond energy per mole for breaking all the bonds in methane, CH4.

Use average bond energies together with the standard enthalpy of formation of C( g) (718.4 kJ/mol) to estimate the standard enthalpy of formation of gaseous benzene, C6H6( g). (Remember that average bond energies apply to the gas phase only.) Compare the value you obtain using average bond energies to the actual standard enthalpy of formation of gaseous benzene,82.9 kJ/mol. What does the difference between these two values tell you about the stability of benzene?
