NEET · Chemistry · STD 11 - 5. Thermodynamics and thermochemistry

At standard conditions, if the change in the enthalpy for the following reaction is \(-109 \;kJ mol ^{-1}\) \(H _{2( g )}+ Br _{2( g )} \rightarrow 2 HBr _{( g )}\) Given that bond energy of \(H _{2}\) and \(Br _{2}\) is \(435 \;kJ mol ^{-1}\) and \(192 \;kJ mol^{-1}\), respectively, what is the bond energy (in \(kJ mol ^{-1}\) ) of \(HBr?\)

  1. A \(259\)
  2. B \(368\)
  3. C \(736\)
  4. D \(518\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(368\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(H _{2}( g )+ Br _{2}( g ) \longrightarrow 2 HBr ( g ) ; \Delta H =-109\) \(\Delta H =\sum( BE )_{ R }-\sum( BE )_{ P }\)
