The correct Answer is:
To calculate the change in enthalpy (ΔH) for the reaction: \[ 2H_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightarrow 2H_2O(l) \] we will use the bond energies provided: - Bond energy of \( H-H \) = 105 kcal/mol - Bond energy of \( O=O \) = 120 kcal/mol - Bond energy of \( O-H \) = 220 kcal/mol ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Bonds Broken in Reactants:** - In the reactants \( 2H_2(g) + O_2(g) \): - Each \( H_2 \) has 1 \( H-H \) bond, and there are 2 \( H_2 \) molecules: \[ \text{Bonds broken: } 2 \times (1 \text{ bond}) = 2 \text{ } H-H \text{ bonds} \] - The \( O_2 \) molecule has 1 \( O=O \) bond: \[ \text{Bonds broken: } 1 \text{ } O=O \text{ bond} \] 2. **Identify Bonds Formed in Products:** - In the products \( 2H_2O(l) \): - Each \( H_2O \) has 2 \( O-H \) bonds, and there are 2 \( H_2O \) molecules: \[ \text{Bonds formed: } 2 \times (2 \text{ bonds}) = 4 \text{ } O-H \text{ bonds} \] 3. **Calculate Total Bond Energies:** - **Total energy of bonds broken:** - For \( H-H \): \( 2 \times 105 \text{ kcal/mol} = 210 \text{ kcal} \) - For \( O=O \): \( 1 \times 120 \text{ kcal/mol} = 120 \text{ kcal} \) - Total: \[ \text{Total energy of bonds broken} = 210 + 120 = 330 \text{ kcal} \] - **Total energy of bonds formed:** - For \( O-H \): \( 4 \times 220 \text{ kcal/mol} = 880 \text{ kcal} \) 4. **Calculate ΔH:** - Using the formula: \[ \Delta H = \text{(Energy of bonds broken)} - \text{(Energy of bonds formed)} \] - Substitute the values: \[ \Delta H = 330 \text{ kcal} - 880 \text{ kcal} = -550 \text{ kcal} \] ### Final Answer: The magnitude of \( \Delta H \) for the reaction is: \[ \Delta H = -550 \text{ kcal} \]

To calculate the change in enthalpy (ΔH) for the reaction: \[ 2H_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightarrow 2H_2O(l) \] we will use the bond energies provided: - Bond energy of \( H-H \) = 105 kcal/mol - Bond energy of \( O=O \) = 120 kcal/mol ...
