Use the information in the table to answer the question. Bond Bond Energy (kJ/mol) H–Cl 427 Cl–Cl 242 H–H 435 Hydrogen and chlorine gases react to produce hydrochloric acid according to the reaction. H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl How much total bond energy, in kJ/mol, is in the products of the reaction? (1 point) Responses 427 427 677 677 854 854 435
To determine the total bond energy in the products of the reaction, we need to calculate the bond energy for each bond in the product molecules.
The product of the reaction is 2HCl, which means we have 2 hydrogen-chlorine (H-Cl) bonds in the product.
The bond energy of an H-Cl bond is 427 kJ/mol.
Since there are 2 H-Cl bonds in the product, the total bond energy in the products of the reaction is 2 * 427 = 854 kJ/mol.
Therefore, the correct answer is 854.
