Average bond enthalpy of water is 464 5 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ . If the energy required to break first 0- H bond is 502 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ , how much energy per mol is required to break second 0 -H bond?
Options
- A929 ~kJ
- B251 ~kJ
- C427 ~kJ
- D678 ~kJ
Correct answer
C. 427 ~kJ
Step-by-step solution
Average bond enthalpy of H ₂ O is 464.5 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ array ll H ₂ O _ (z) H _ (z) + OH _ (z) & H ₁=502 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ OH _ (z) H _ (z) + O _ (g) & H ₂=? array Average bond enthalpy = H ₁+ H ₂ 2 464.5 2=502+ H ₂ H ₂=929-502=427 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
