Question

Sodium fluoroacetate (NaO₂C₂H₂F) is a common poison used in New Zealand to control invasive species, such as rats. It can be prepared by the substitution of a C-Cl bond in sodium chloroacetate (NaO₂C₂H₂Cl) for a C-F bond. What is the approximate enthalpy change for this substitution reaction on a 1.500 mole sample, based on the following bond energies?
C-Cl = 339.0 kJ/mol
C-F = 485.0 kJ/mol

Answer 1

Answer:

-219

Explanation:

1.5(339) - 1.5(485) = -219
