Q.
At $25^{\circ} C$, the enthalpy of the following processes are given:
$H _2( g )+ O _2( g ) \rightarrow 2 OH ( g ) \Delta H ^{\circ} =78 \,kJ \,mol ^{-1} $
$H _2( g )+1 / 2 O _2( g ) \rightarrow H _2 O ( g ) \Delta H ^{\circ} =-242 \,kJ \,mol ^{-1} $
$H _2( g ) \rightarrow 2 H ( g ) \Delta H ^{\circ} =436\, kJ \,mol ^{-1} $
$1 / 2 O _2( g ) \rightarrow O ( g ) \Delta H ^{\circ} =249\, kJ\, mol ^{-1}$
What would be the value of $X$ for the following reaction?______ (Nearest integer)
$H _2 O ( g ) \rightarrow H ( g )+ OH ( g ) \Delta H ^{\circ}= X\, kJ\, mol -1$
Solution:
Correct answer is '499'
