NEET Chemistry VSEPR Theory MCQ Question
Calculate the average bond enthalpy of the O-H bond in a water molecule given the following bond dissociation enthalpies: H2O(g) → H(g) + OH(g); ΔaH1V = 502 kJ mol–1, OH(g) → H(g) + O(g); ΔaH2V = 427 kJ mol–1.
464.5 kJ mol–1
502 kJ mol–1
427 kJ mol–1
914 kJ mol–1
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The average bond enthalpy is calculated by dividing the sum of the bond dissociation enthalpies (502 kJ mol–1 and 427 kJ mol–1) by the number of bonds broken, which is 2, resulting in 464.5 kJ mol–1.
