8) The bond enthalpy of the Br–Cl bond is equal to ΔH°rxn for the following reaction.
BrCl(g) → Br(g) + Cl(g)
Using the following data, what is the bond enthalpy of the Br–Cl bond?
Br2(l) → Br2(g) ΔH°rxn = 30.91 kJ/mol
Br2(g) → 2Br(g) ΔH°rxn = 192.9 kJ/mol
Cl2(g) → 2Cl(g) ΔH°rxn = 243.4 kJ/mol
Br2(l) + Cl2(g) → 2BrCl(g) ΔH°rxn = 29.2 kJ/mol
