Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction H2 (g) + Br2 (g) 2HBr (g) Given that the bond enthalpies of H–H, Br–Br, H–Br are 435, 192 and 364 kJ mol–1 respectively. |

Answer» Δr H = ∑B.E. (Reactants) – ∑B.E. (Products) = [B.E. (H2) + B.E. (Br2 )] – 2 B.E. (HBr) = 435 + 192 – 2 × 364 = – 101 kJ. |
