Estimate the average bond energy in SF6. The standard heat of formation of SF6, S F are -110, 275 and 80 kJ/mol respectively.
SF6→S+ 6F
ΔHREACTION=ΣΔH0F(PRODUCT) -ΣΔH0F(REACTANT)
=[(1 mol x ΔH0F(S) + 6 mol x ΔH0F(F)] – [ΔH0F(SF6)]
=(275+6 X80)-(-110)
=865 kJ/mol
Average bond energy = ΔHREACTION /6
=865/6= 144.16 kJ/mol
