The bond dissociation energies for `Cl_(2)`, `I_(2)` and `IC l` are `242.3`, `151.0` and `211.3 kJ//"mole"` respectively. The enthalpy of sublimation of iodine is `62.8 kJ //"mole"`. What is the standard enthalpy of formation of `ICI(g)` nearly equal toA. `-211.3 kJ//"mole"`B. `-14.6 kJ//"mole"`C. `16.8 kJ//"mole"`D. `33.5 kJ//"mole"`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
We aim at `(1)/(2)I_(2)(s)+(1)/(2)Cl_(2)(g)toICl(g)`
We are given
`(i) Cl_(2)(g)to2Cl(g)`, `DeltaH=242.3 kJ`
`(ii) I_(2)(g)to2I(g)`, `DeltaH=151 kJ`
`(iii) Icl(g)toI(g)+Cl(g)`, `DeltaH=211.3 kJ`
`(iv) I_(2)(s)toI_(2)(g)`, `DeltaH=62.8kJ`
`(1)/(2)(ii)+(1)/(2)(i)-(iii)+(1)/(2)(iv)` gives the required equation
`DeltaH=(1)/(2)(151)+(1)(2)(242.3)-211.3+(1)(2)(62.8)`
`=16.75 kJ`
