Question 10

Marks: 1

The reaction of hydrogen with iodine to form hydrogen iodide is shown below: 

H2 + I2 → 2HI 

Use the bond energy data given to calculate the enthalpy of reaction, ΔHӨr.

295

  • ΔHӨr = 432 + 149 + 295

  • ΔHӨr = 432 + 149 + (2 x 295)

  • ΔHӨr = 432 + 149 - (2 x 295)

  • ΔHӨr = 432 + 149 - 295
