Given that H_f( H )=218 ~kJ / mol , express the H - H bond energy in kcal / mol .
Options
- A52.15
- B911
- C104
- D52153
Correct answer
C. 104
Step-by-step solution
Given : H_f( H )=218 ~kJ / mol ie, 1 2 H ₂ H ; H=218 ~kJ / mol aligned & or H ₂ 2 H ; H=436 ~kJ / mol & = 436 4.18 =104.3 kcal / mol & aligned Thus, 104.3 kcal / mol energy is absorbed for breaking one mole of H - H bonds. Hence, H - H bond energy is 104.3 kcal / mol .
