The bond dissociation enthalpy of the first H-Se bond in hydrogen selenide is 305.0 kJ/mol. The enthalpies of formation of H2Se(g) and Se(g) are +30.0 and 227.0 kJ/mol, respectively. The bond dissociation enthalpy of H-H bond is 436.0 kJ/mol.

The bond dissociation enthalpy of the free radical HSe is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

For the reaction HSe → H + Se, the enthalpy change (ΔH) is calculated as follows:

ΔH = 218 + 227 - 117 = 328 kJ/mol

This corresponds to option (a).
