Question

What is bond enthalpy of XeF bond ?
XeF4(g) → Xe+(g) +F-(g) + F2(g) + F(g) ;
rH = 292 KCal/mol
Given :
I.E. of Xe = 279 KCal/mol.
B.E. (F-F) = 38 KCal/mol.
E.A of F = 85 KCal/mol.

Options

A.24 KCal/mol
B.34 KCal/mol
C.8.5 KCal/mol
D.54 KCal/mol

Solution

rH = Absorbed - Released
⇒  292 = (4x + 279) - (38 + 85)
⇒  x = 34 KCal/mol.
