Solution

The correct option is B 22.0 kcal
H2 (g)2H (g);H=104 kcal ....(1)Cl2 (g)2Cl (g)H=58 kcal ....(2)HCl (g)H (g)+Cl (g)H=103 kcal ....(3)
Heat of formation for HCl
12H2 (g)+12Cl2 (g)HCl (g) H=?
Divide equations (1) and (2) by 2, and then add
12H2(g)+12Cl2(g)H(g)+Cl(g); H=81 kcal....(4)

HCl (g)H (g)+Cl (g); H=103 kcal
Subtracting equation (3) from equation (4) gives enthalpy of formation of HCl
Enthalpy of formation of HCl gas = 22.0 kcal
