The polymerization of ethylene to linear polyethylene is represented by the reaction \[nC{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{\,}\,{{(-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}-)}_{n}}\] when 'n' has a large integral value. Given that average enthalpies of bond dissociation for \[C=C\] and \[C-C\] at 298 K are + 590 and \[+331\,\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] respectively. Then the enthalpy of polymerization/mol of ethylene at298 K is

A. - 132 kJ
B. - 72 kJ
C. + 80 kJ
D. + 162 kJ
Answer» C. + 80 kJ
