Question:
$\text{At standard conditions, if the change in the enthalpy for the following reaction is } -109 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
$\text{H}_{2(g)}+\text{Br}_{2(g)}\rightarrow 2\text{HBr}_{(g)} \text{ and the bond energy of H}_2 \text{ and Br}_2 \text{ is } 435 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} \text{ and } 192 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} \text{ respectively, what is the bond energy (in kJ mol}^{-1}\text{) of HBr?}$
Options:
-
1. $368$
-
2. $736$
-
3. $518$
-
4. $259$
Solution:
$\text{Hint} = \Delta\text{H} = \sum(\text{B.E})_{\text{Reactants}} - \sum(\text{B.E})_{\text{Products}}$
$\text{Step 1: Identify the reaction and the given data}$
$\text{The reaction is: H}_{2(g)} + \text{Br}_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2\text{HBr}_{(g)}$
$\text{Given:}$
$\Delta\text{H} = -109 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
$\text{Bond energy of H}_2 = 435 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
$\text{Bond energy of Br}_2 = 192 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
$\text{Step 2: Apply the relationship between enthalpy change and bond energies}$
$\text{The enthalpy change for a reaction can be calculated as:}$
$\Delta\text{H} = \sum(\text{Bond energies broken}) - \sum(\text{Bond energies formed})$
$\text{Or alternatively:}$
$\Delta\text{H} = \sum(\text{B.E})_{\text{Reactants}} - \sum(\text{B.E})_{\text{Products}}$
$\text{In this reaction:}$
$\text{Bonds broken: one H-H bond and one Br-Br bond}$
$\text{Bonds formed: two H-Br bonds}$
$\text{Step 3: Set up the equation and solve for the bond energy of HBr}$
$-109 = [\text{B.E}_{(\text{H-H})} + \text{B.E}_{(\text{Br-Br})}] - [2 \times \text{B.E}_{(\text{H-Br})}]$
$-109 = 435 + 192 - 2 \times \text{B.E}_{(\text{H-Br})}$
$-109 = 627 - 2 \times \text{B.E}_{(\text{H-Br})}$
$2 \times \text{B.E}_{(\text{H-Br})} = 627 + 109$
$2 \times \text{B.E}_{(\text{H-Br})} = 736$
$\text{B.E}_{(\text{H-Br})} = \frac{736}{2} = 368 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
$\text{Therefore, the bond energy of HBr is } 368 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
