Question:

Chloromethane, CH3Cl, a compound found throughout the environment, is formed in the reaction of chlorine atoms with methane.

(8) + (8)H  (8)1 7 + (8) H

(a) Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction of CH4(g) and Cl atoms to give CH3Cl(g) and HCl(g). Is the reaction exo- or endothermic?

(b) Draw an energy level diagram that shows how the various enthalpies in this problem are related.
