Given the following information,calculate ΔH° (in kcal mol^-1)for: I(g)+ e^- → I^-(g) A)-715 kcal mol^-1 B)-338 kcal mol^-1 C)-89 kcal mol^-1 D)-71 kcal mol^-1 E)-142 kcal mol^-1

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction involves the formation of a chemical bond between the iodine atom and the electron, which is an exothermic process. Therefore, the value of ΔH° will be negative. The correct value can be obtained from thermodynamic tables and is approximately -71 kcal mol-1. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct value of ΔH°.
