Ch.9 - Thermochemistry: Chemical Energy
Chapter 9, Problem 151b
Phosgene, COCl2(g), is a toxic gas used as an agent of warfare in World War I. (b) Using the table of bond dissociation energies (Table 9.3) and the value ΔH°f = 716.7 kJ/mol for C(g), estimate ΔH°f for COCl2(g) at 25 °C. Compare your answer to the actual ΔH°f given in Appendix B, and explain why your calculation is only an estimate.
