Solution

The correct option is D -103 kJ
$H - H$ bond energy- $433 K J {m o l}^{- 1} = △ H$
$B r - B r$ bond energy- $192 K J {m o l}^{- 1} = △ H$
$H - B r$ bond energy- $364 K J {m o l}^{- 1} = △ H$
$H_{2_{(9)}} + {B r}_{2_{(9)}} ⟶ 2 H {B r}_{(9)}$
${△ H}^{0} = - 2 (364) + 433 + 192$
$= - 103 K J$

Use bond energies to estimate the enthalpy of formation of HBr(g).
BE(H-H) = 436 kJ/mol
BE(Br-Br) = 192 kJ/mol
BE(H-Br) = 366 kJ/mol
