Question 16

Water is converted into hydrogen and oxygen.

2H2O→2H2+O2 2\mathrm{H_2O \rightarrow 2H_2 + O_2} 2H2​O→2H2​+O2​

The table shows some bond energies.

BondO−H\mathrm{O{-}H}O−HH−H\mathrm{H{-}H}H−HO=O\mathrm{O{=}O}O=O
Bond energy (kJ/mol\mathrm{kJ/mol}kJ/mol)463436498

What is the energy change, in kJ/mol\mathrm{kJ/mol}kJ/mol, for the equation as written?

[1]
A

+482 kJ/mol+482\,\mathrm{kJ/mol}+482kJ/mol

B

+1852 kJ/mol+1852\,\mathrm{kJ/mol}+1852kJ/mol

C

−482 kJ/mol-482\,\mathrm{kJ/mol}−482kJ/mol

D

+3222 kJ/mol+3222\,\mathrm{kJ/mol}+3222kJ/mol
