Answer #1

Given:

Hof(P(g)) = 315.0 KJ/mol

Hof(F(g)) = 79.0 KJ/mol

Hof(PF5(g)) = -1595.0 KJ/mol

Balanced chemical equation is:

P(g) + 5 F(g) ---> PF5(g)

ΔHo rxn = 1*Hof(PF5(g)) - 1*Hof( P(g)) - 5*Hof(F(g))

ΔHo rxn = 1*(-1595.0) - 1*(315.0) - 5*(79.0)

ΔHo rxn = -2305 KJ

There are no bonds in reactant and there are 5 P-F bonds in product

ΔHo rxn can also be written as:

ΔHo rxn = BE(reactant) - BE(products)

-2305 = 0 - 5*BE(P-F)

5*BE(P-F) = 2305

BE(P-F) = 461 KJ/mol

Answer: 461 KJ/mol
