The equation below represents the combination of gaseous atoms of non-metal X and of hydrogen to form gaseous X2He6 molecules. 2X(g) + 6H(g) → X2H6(g) AH = -2775 kJ mol The bond energy of an X-H bond is 395 kJ mol. What is the bond energy of an X-X bond? A - 405.0kJmol-¹ B -202.5kJmol-¹ C +202.5kJ mol-¹ D +405.0kJ mol-¹

D +405.0kJ mol-¹

Explanation:

Since bond energy is the energy required to break a bond, the energy of dissociation of X₂H₆ = +2775 kJmol⁻¹.

Since there is one X-X bond and six X-H bonds,

Bond energy of one X-X bond + Bond energy of six X-H bonds = energy of dissociation of X₂H₆.

Since bond energy of one X-H bond = 395 kJ mol⁻¹, then

Bond energy of one X-X bond + Bond energy of six X-H bonds = energy of dissociation of X₂H₆

Bond energy of one X-X bond + 6 × one X-H bond = +2775 kJmol⁻¹.

Bond energy of one X-X bond + 6 × 395 kJ mol⁻¹ = +2775 kJmol⁻¹.

Bond energy of one X-X bond + 2370 kJ mol⁻¹ = 2775 kJmol⁻¹

Bond energy of one X-X bond = 2775 kJmol⁻¹ - 2370 kJ mol⁻¹

Bond energy of one X-X bond = +405 kJmol⁻¹

i'm assuming that it's c.) red bank..

if you're asking what comes out, it's steam.
