Given the following reaction: 4H(g)2H2(g)4\text{H(g)} \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{(g)}. The enthalpy change for the reaction is 869.6 kJ-869.6 \text{ kJ}. The dissociation energy of the H-H bond is:

A

869.6 kJ-869.6 \text{ kJ}

B

+434.8 kJ+434.8 \text{ kJ}

C

+217.4 kJ+217.4 \text{ kJ}

D

434.8 kJ-434.8 \text{ kJ}

Step-by-Step Solution

The given reaction is the formation of 22 moles of H2\text{H}_2 gas from 44 moles of gaseous H\text{H} atoms: 4H(g)2H2(g);ΔH=869.6 kJ4\text{H(g)} \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{(g)}; \Delta H = -869.6 \text{ kJ} This means the formation of 22 moles of H-H bonds releases 869.6 kJ869.6 \text{ kJ} of energy. The enthalpy change for the formation of 11 mole of H2\text{H}_2 gas from 22 moles of H\text{H} atoms is: 869.62=434.8 kJ\frac{-869.6}{2} = -434.8 \text{ kJ} 2H(g)H2(g);ΔH=434.8 kJ2\text{H(g)} \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{(g)}; \Delta H = -434.8 \text{ kJ} The bond dissociation energy of the H-H bond is the energy required to break 11 mole of H-H bonds into gaseous H atoms. This is the reverse of the formation reaction: H2(g)2H(g)\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow 2\text{H(g)} Therefore, the bond dissociation energy is +434.8 kJ+434.8 \text{ kJ}.
