    The H-H bond energy is \[430\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\] and \[ClCl\]bond energy is \[240\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}},\]\[\Delta H\] for \[HCl\]is \[-\text{ }90\text{ }kJ.\] The \[HCl\]bond energy is about:

    A) \[180\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]   

    B)         \[360\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    C) \[~213\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]   

    D)         \[425\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The formation of one mole of HCl can be represented as, \[\frac{1}{2}(H-H)+\frac{1}{2}(Cl-Cl)\xrightarrow{{}}H-Cl;\] \[\Delta \Eta =-90\,kJ\] Hence, for the reaction, Heat evolved = heat evolved in bond formation heat required for bond breaking \[\therefore \]  \[90\,kJ=\][\[H-Cl\]bond energy]                                 \[-\left( \frac{1}{2}\times 430+\frac{1}{2}\times 24 \right)\] \[\therefore \](\[H-Cl\]bond energy)\[=90+(215+120)\]                                                 \[=425\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-}}.\]
