The value of standard enthalpy of formation of SF6(g) S (g) and F (g) are −1100,275 and 80 kJ mol−1 respectively. The average S−F bond ethalpy is SF6 is :
S(g)+6F(g)→SF6(g)ΔHf=−1100 kJmol−1
S(s)→S(g)ΔHf=+275 kJmol−1
12F2(g)→F(g)ΔHf=80 kJmol−1
Therefore heat of formation
Bond energy of reactant – Bond energy of product
−1100=[275+6×80]−[6×S−F]
Thus bond energy of S–F=309 kJmol−1
