a is the right answer

To find the bond enthalpy of the Br-Cl bond, we need to use the data provided and apply the Hess's Law.

According to Hess's Law, the enthalpy change of a reaction is the same regardless of the route taken.

We are given the following reactions and their enthalpy changes:
1. Br2(l) --> Br2(g) ΔH = 30.91 kJ/mol
2. Br2(g) --> 2Br(g) ΔH = 192.9 kJ/mol
3. Cl2(g) --> 2Cl(g) ΔH = 243.4 kJ/mol
4. Br2(l) + Cl2(g) --> 2BrCl(g) ΔH = 29.2 kJ/mol

First, we need to reverse reaction 2 because we want to find the bond enthalpy of the Br-Cl bond:
2Br(g) --> Br2(g) ΔH = -192.9 kJ/mol

Next, we multiply reaction 2 by 2 to match the coefficient of BrCl in reaction 4:
2Br(g) --> 2Br2(g) ΔH = -385.8 kJ/mol

Now, we can cancel out the Br2(g) in reactions 2 and 4:
-385.8 kJ/mol + Cl2(g) --> 2BrCl(g) ΔH = -29.2 kJ/mol

Finally, we subtract reaction 3 from the modified reaction 4 to find the enthalpy change for the formation of 2BrCl(g):
(2BrCl(g) ΔH - 2Cl(g) ΔH) + Cl2(g) = -29.2 kJ/mol
2BrCl(g) ΔH - 2(243.4 kJ/mol) + 243.4 kJ/mol = -29.2 kJ/mol
2BrCl(g) ΔH - 486.8 kJ/mol + 243.4 kJ/mol = -29.2 kJ/mol
2BrCl(g) ΔH - 243.4 kJ/mol = -29.2 kJ/mol
2BrCl(g) ΔH = 214.2 kJ/mol

Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get the bond enthalpy of the Br-Cl bond:
BrCl(g) ΔH = 107.1 kJ/mol

Therefore, the bond enthalpy of the Br-Cl bond is approximately 107.1 kJ/mol.

Since none of the answer choices match exactly, we can round the value to the nearest whole number.

The nearest answer choice is A. 219.0 kJ/mol, so that would be the closest approximation for the bond enthalpy of the Br-Cl bond.

To find the bond enthalpy of the Br-Cl bond, we need to use the given data and apply the concept of Hess's law, which states that the enthalpy change of a reaction is the same whether it occurs in one step or multiple steps.

We can use the following steps to calculate the bond enthalpy of the Br-Cl bond:

1. First, we need to write the balanced chemical equation for the formation of BrCl from its elements: BrCl(g) -> Br(g) + Cl(g)

2. Next, we can manipulate the given equations to match the stoichiometry of the desired reaction:

- Multiply the second equation by 2 to get 2Br2(g) -> 4Br(g)
- Multiply the third equation by 1/2 to get 1/2Cl2(g) -> Cl(g)
- Multiply the fourth equation by 1/2 and reverse the reaction to get 2BrCl(g) -> Br2(l) + Cl2(g)

After manipulating the equations, we have the following reactions:

2Br2(g) -> 4Br(g)
1/2Cl2(g) -> Cl(g)
2BrCl(g) -> Br2(l) + Cl2(g)

3. Now, we can add the equations together and cancel out common species to obtain the desired reaction:

2Br2(g) + 1/2Cl2(g) + 2BrCl(g) -> 4Br(g) + Cl(g) + Br2(l)

4. Finally, we use the given enthalpy change (ΔH) values for the reactions to solve for the unknown bond enthalpy of the Br-Cl bond (ΔH°):

ΔH° = Σ(ΔH°f(products)) - Σ(ΔH°f(reactants))

Using the given ΔH values:

ΔH° = [4Br(g) + Cl(g) + Br2(l)] - [2Br2(g) + 1/2Cl2(g) + 2BrCl(g)]

ΔH° = [4(192.9 KJ/mol) + 243.4 KJ/mol + 30.91 KJ/mol] - [2(192.9 KJ/mol) + 1/2(243.4 KJ/mol) + 2(29.2 KJ/mol)]

ΔH° = 1543.1 KJ/mol - 712.7 KJ/mol

ΔH° = 830.4 KJ/mol

Therefore, the bond enthalpy of the Br-Cl bond is 830.4 KJ/mol.
None of the given options match this value exactly.
