The bond dissociation energies of $XY$,$X_2$,and $Y_2$ (all diatomic molecules) are in the ratio $1 : 1 : 0.5$. If the enthalpy of formation of $XY$ is $\Delta_fH = -200 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,find the bond dissociation energy of $X_2$ in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.

The heat of combustion of a substance is:

Combustion of $1$ $mol$ of benzene is expressed as:
$C_6H_{6(l)} + \frac{15}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 6CO_{2(g)} + 3H_2O_{(l)}$
The standard enthalpy of combustion of $2$ $mol$ of benzene is $-x$ $kJ$.
$x = . . . . . . . . . .$
$(1)$ Standard enthalpy of formation of $1$ $mol$ of $C_6H_{6(l)}$ is $48.5$ $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
$(2)$ Standard enthalpy of formation of $1$ $mol$ of $CO_{2(g)}$ is $-393.5$ $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
$(3)$ Standard enthalpy of formation of $1$ $mol$ of $H_2O_{(l)}$ is $-286$ $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.

Equal volumes of $1 \, M \, HCl$ and $1 \, M \, H_2SO_4$ are neutralized by a dilute $NaOH$ solution,and $x$ and $y \, kcal$ of heat are liberated,respectively. Which of the following is correct?

The enthalpy change during a reaction does not depend on .......

Calculate the enthalpy of solution of potassium chloride $(KCl)$ if its lattice enthalpy $\Delta_{L} H = 700 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and hydration enthalpy $\Delta_{hyd} H = -680 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
