NEET Chemistry Covalent Bond MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

Calculate the average bond enthalpy for the O-H bonds in a water molecule given that ΔaH1V=502 kJ mol1\Delta_a H_1^V = 502 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} and ΔaH2V=427 kJ mol1\Delta_a H_2^V = 427 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}.

A

464.5 kJ mol⁻¹

B

502 kJ mol⁻¹

C

427 kJ mol⁻¹

D

464 kJ mol⁻¹

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The average bond enthalpy is calculated by dividing the total bond dissociation enthalpy by the number of bonds broken: (502 + 427) / 2 = 464.5 kJ mol⁻¹.
