What is bond enthalpy?

Bond enthalpy is the energy required to break one mole of bonds in a gaseous molecule, measured in kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol).

True or False: Bond enthalpy is always negative.

False. Bond enthalpy is positive, as it represents the energy absorbed when breaking bonds.

higher

How are bond enthalpies determined?

Bond enthalpies are determined experimentally or calculated from reaction enthalpies using Hess's law.

an absorbance of energy.

What type of reaction involves bond formation?

Exothermic reactions, where energy is released when bonds form.

Example of a molecule with high bond enthalpy.

O2 (oxygen molecule) has a high bond enthalpy due to its strong double bond.

What is the bond enthalpy of H—H bond?

The bond enthalpy of H—H is approximately 436 kJ/mol.

True or False: Bond enthalpy is the same for breaking and forming bonds.

Calculating Bond Enthalpies(12)

What is bond enthalpy?

Bond enthalpy is the energy required to break one mole of a bond in a gaseous molecule, measured in kJ/mol.

Calculate total enthalpy change for H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl.

Total ΔH = Bonds broken - Bonds formed Bonds broken: H-H (436 kJ/mol) + Cl-Cl (243 kJ/mol) Bonds formed: 2 x H-Cl (431 kJ/mol) ΔH = (436 + 243) - (2 x 431) = -56 kJ/mol.

True or False: Bond enthalpies are always positive.

True. Energy must be absorbed to break bonds, resulting in positive bond enthalpy values.

What does a higher bond enthalpy indicate?

A higher bond enthalpy indicates a stronger bond and greater energy required to break it.

Calculate total bond enthalpy: H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl.

ΔH = Bonds broken - Bonds formed = (H–H + Cl–Cl) - (2H–Cl) = (436 + 243) - (2 × 431) = 679 - 862 = -183 kJ/mol

What is the relationship between bond order and bond enthalpy?

Higher bond order correlates with higher bond enthalpy; triple bonds are stronger than double or single bonds.
