Hydrogen reacts with iodine: H2+I2\text{H}_2 + \text{I}_2H2+I2 goes to 2HI2\text{HI}2HI. The table gives the bond energies.
Table: The bond energies of the bonds in the reactants and in the product
| Bond | Bond energy in kJ/mol |
|---|---|
| H-H\text{H-H}H-H | 436 |
| I-I\text{I-I}I-I | 151 |
| H-I\text{H-I}H-I | 294 |
What is the overall energy change of the reaction?
−1 kJ/mol-1\ \text{kJ/mol}−1 kJ/mol
+1 kJ/mol+1\ \text{kJ/mol}+1 kJ/mol
+293 kJ/mol+293\ \text{kJ/mol}+293 kJ/mol
−1175 kJ/mol-1175\ \text{kJ/mol}−1175 kJ/mol
