Enthalpy of Atomisation and bond dissociation
Question

Bond enthalpies of H2,O2 are 436kJ/mole and 498kJ/mole respectively. Calculate O–H bond enthalpy if  ΔfH0 of water is –286kJ/mole

Moderate
Solution

Δ0H=HR0HPo

*** Bonds are broken in reactants, endothermic
        Bonds are formed in products, exothermic
