Identify the correct relation between x and y.
The enthalpy required to convert Br₂(l) into gaseous bromine atoms is x kJ mol⁻¹, while the bond enthalpy of Br–Br bond in Br₂(g) is y kJ mol⁻¹.
Given
\(\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{{C}_{{(graphite) }}+{O}_{2}({~g})} → \mathrm{{CO}_{2}({~g})} \\ &\mathrm{\Delta_{r} {H}^{\circ}=-393.5 {~kJ} {~mol}^{-1}} \\ &\mathrm{H_{2}(g) + \frac{1}{2} {O}_{2}({~g})} → \mathrm{{H}_{2} {O}({l})} \\ &\mathrm{\Delta_{r} {H}^{\circ}=-285.8 {~kJ} {~mol}^{-1}} \\ &\mathrm{{CO}_{2}({~g})+2 {H}_{2} {O}({l})} → \mathrm{{CH}_{4}({~g})+2 {O}_{2}({~g})} \\ &\mathrm{\Delta_{r} {H}^{\circ}=+890.3 {~kJ} {~mol}^{-1}} \end{aligned}\)
Based on the above thermochemical equations, the value of ΔrH° at 298 K for the reaction
\(\mathrm{C_{(graphite)} + 2 H_{2} (g) → CH_{4} (g)}\) will be :
1. –74.8 kJ mol–1
2. –144.0 kJ mol–1
3. +74.8 kJ mol–1
4. +144.0 kJ mol–1
