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

    A)  \[180\,\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    B)  \[360\,\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

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

    D)  \[425\,\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

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