JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2023 - 1st February Morning Shift - No. 16)

At $$25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$, the enthalpy of the following processes are given :

$$\mathrm{H_2(g)+O_2(g)}$$ $$\to$$ $$2\mathrm{OH(g)}$$ $$\mathrm{\Delta H^\circ=78~kJ~mol^{-1}}$$
$$\mathrm{H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)}$$ $$\to$$ $$\mathrm{H_2O(g)}$$ $$\mathrm{\Delta H^\circ=-242~kJ~mol^{-1}}$$
$$\mathrm{H_2(g)}$$ $$\to$$ $$\mathrm{2H(g)}$$ $$\mathrm{\Delta H^\circ=436~kJ~mol^{-1}}$$
$$\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{O_2(g)}$$ $$\to$$ $$\mathrm{O(g)}$$ $$\mathrm{\Delta H^\circ=249~kJ~mol^{-1}}$$

What would be the value of X for the following reaction ? _____________ (Nearest integer)

$$\mathrm{H_2O(g)\to H(g)+OH(g)~\Delta H^\circ=X~kJ~mol^{-1}}$$

Answer
499

Explanation

$\frac{\text { (i) }+\text { (iii) }}{2}-$ (ii) gives desired reaction

$$ \begin{aligned} & \Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{436+78}{2}-(-242) \\\\ & =\frac{436+78}{2}+242=499 \end{aligned} $$
