Question
The bond dissociation energies of X2, Y2 and XY are in the ratio of 1 : 0.5: 1. ΔH for the formation of XY is –200 kJ mol–1. The bond dissociation energy of X2 will be
200 kJ mol-1
100 kJ mol-1
400 kJ mol-1
800 kJ mol-1
Solution
D.
800 kJ mol-1
Let B.E of x2,y2 and xy are x kJ mol-1, 0.5 x kJ mol-1 and x kJ mol-1 respectively
