Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction. H2(g) + Br2(g) → 2BHr(g) Given the bond enthalpies H2, Br2 and HBr are 435 kJ mol-1 and 368 kJ mol-1 respectively.

Answer»

For the reaction,

H2 (g) + Br2 (g) → 2HBr(g)

For reactions,

Bond enthalpy of 1 mole of H-H bond = 435 kJ mol-1

Bond enthalpy of 1 mole of Br-Br bond = 192 KJ mol-1

For products,

Bond enthalpy of 2 moles of H-Br bond = −2 × 368

= −736 kJ mol−1

Enthalpy changes for the reaction

rHΘ = 435 + 192 − 736

= −109 kJ mol−1
