The standard enthalpies of formation of HCl(g), H (g) and Cl₂(g) are –92.2, 217.7 and 121.4 kJ mol-1 respectively. The bond dissociation energy of HCl is:
A.+431.3 kJ
B.236.9 kJ✓ Correct
C.–431.3 kJ
D.339.1 kJ
Explanation
2 2 1 1 H Cl HCl.... H 92.2 2 2 → 2 2 H B.E H B.E Cl B.E HCl 92.2 217.7 121.4 B.E HCl B.E HCl 217.7 121.4 92.2 413.3kJ 140. The enthalpy changes at 25°C in successive breaking of O–H bonds of water are : H₂O(g) → H(g) + OH(g) ∆H = 498 kJ mol-1 OH(g) → H(g) + O(g) ∆H = 428 kJ mol-1 the bond enthalpy of the O–H bond is : (a) 498 kJ mol-1 (b) 463 kJ mol-1 (c) 428 kJ mol-1 (d) 70 kJ mol-1 Bond enthalpy of O–H bond is average of the two 1 498 428 H 463KJmol 2 141. The enthalpy change for the following reaction is 368 kJ.
