NEET Chemistry Covalent Bond MCQ Question
Calculate the average bond enthalpy of the O-H bonds in water using the given bond dissociation enthalpies.
464.5 kJ mol⁻¹
500 kJ mol⁻¹
450 kJ mol⁻¹
475 kJ mol⁻¹
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The average bond enthalpy is calculated by taking the sum of the bond dissociation enthalpies of the O-H bonds (502 kJ mol⁻¹ and 427 kJ mol⁻¹) and dividing by the number of bonds, which is 2: (502 + 427) / 2 = 464.5 kJ mol⁻¹.
