A student investigates the addition reaction between ethene, \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_4\text{(g)}\), and chlorine gas, \(\text{Cl}_2\text{(g)}\), to produce 1,2-dichloroethane, \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_4\text{Cl}_2\text{(g)}\), as represented by the balanced equation above. Based on the average bond enthalpies given in the table, what is the estimated enthalpy change of the reaction, \(\Delta H^\circ_{\text{rxn}}\)?
