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 854 854 427 427 435 435 677
To determine the total bond energy in the products of the reaction, we need to calculate the bond energy for each bond being formed.
In the reaction, 2 moles of HCl are being formed. Each HCl molecule contains 1 bond between hydrogen and chlorine.
The bond energy for hydrogen-chlorine bond is approximately 431 kJ/mol.
Therefore, the total bond energy in the products of the reaction is:
2 moles HCl * (1 bond/1 HCl molecule) * 431 kJ/mol = 862 kJ/mol
Therefore, the correct answer is 862 kJ/mol.
