Question

Approximate bond dissociation enthalpy of an average C–C single bond is closest to:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

1. **Bond Strength**: Bond enthalpy is the energy required to break one mole of a specific bond in the gaseous state.
2. **Standard Values for Carbon**:
   - **C–C (Single)**: $\approx 348 	ext{ kJ/mol}$.
   - **C=C (Double)**: $\approx 612 	ext{ kJ/mol}$.
   - **C≡C (Triple)**: $\approx 837 	ext{ kJ/mol}$.
3. **Selection**: Among the given options, **$350$ kJ/mol** is the standard value for a saturated hydrocarbon $C-C$ bond (e.g., in Ethane).
