Chemistry Question on Thermodynamics
If enthalpy of atomisation for Br2(I) is xkJ/mol and bond enthalpy for Br2 is ykj/mol, the relation between them :
A
is x<y
B
does not exist
C
is x>y
D
is x=y
Answer
is x>y
Explanation
Solution
Enthalpy of atomisation of Br2(l) ΔHatoms=ΔHvap+ΔHBE x=ΔHvap+y so,x>y
