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 |
