Chapter 8, Problem 8.135QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The average bond energy for the carbon-sulfur bonds in ${\text{CS}}_{\text{2}}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The energy which is required in a molecule to break one mole of a covalent bond in its gaseous phase is known as bond energy of that bond. It is expressed in terms of enthalpy change denoted by $\left(\Delta H\right)$.

To determine: The average bond energy for the carbon-sulfur bonds in ${\text{CS}}_{\text{2}}$.
