The heat of formation of HI from the equation
H2+I2→2HI,ΔH=+52KJ is
The heat of combustion for C, H2 and CH4 are −349 kJ/mol, −241.8 kJ/mol and −906.7 kJ/mol respectively. The heat of formation in kJ/mol of CH4 is :
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
