T½=18.72days
therefore t¾=18.72+½ of 18.72
we have 18.72+9.36=28.08days

Answer:

Bond energy of carbon-fluorine bond is 485 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Enthalpy change for a reaction, is given as:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n_{i}\times (E_{bond})_{i}]-\sum [n_{j}\times (E_{bond})_{j}]$

Where $(E_{bond})_{i}$ and $(E_{bond})_{j}$ represents average bond energy in breaking "i" th bond and forming "j" th bond respectively. $n_{i}$ and $n_{j}$ are number of moles of bond break and form respectively.

In this reaction, one mol of C=C, four moles of C-H and one mol of F-F bonds are broken. One mol of C-C bond, four moles of C-H bonds and two moles of C-F bonds are formed

So, $-549kJ=(1mol\times 614kJ/mo)+(4mol\times E_{C-H})+(1mol\times 154kJ/mol)-(1mol\times 347kJ/mol)-(4mol\times E_{C-H})-(2mol\times E_{C-F})$
