The total energy required for this conversion is equivalent to the sum of the energies that are used. There are three steps:
1) Heating of liquid acetone
This used 628 J
2) Evaporation of acetone
This used 15.6 kJ or 15,600 J
3) Heating of acetone vapors
This used 712 J
Adding these quantities,
Total energy = 628 + 15,600 + 712
The total energy required was <span>16940 Joules of 16.94 kJ</span>
Bromine is less electronegative than chlorine, yet methyl bromide and methyl chloride have very similar dipole moments. This is because the bond distance in methyl bromide is more due to the large size of bromine atom.
Dipole moment is calculated by multiplying the charge on the atom with the bond distance.
