The enthalpy changes at $298 \ K$ in successive breaking of $O-H$ bonds of $H_2O$ are:
$H_2O_{(g)} \to H_{(g)} + OH_{(g)}, \Delta H = 498 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$OH_{(g)} \to H_{(g)} + O_{(g)}, \Delta H = 428 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
The bond enthalpy of the $O-H$ bond is ..... $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.

The heat of formation is the change in enthalpy accompanying the formation of a substance from its elements at $298 \ K$ and $1 \ atm$ pressure. Since the enthalpies of elements are taken to be zero,the heat of formation $(\Delta H_f)$ of compounds

Calculate the heat of formation of $PCl_{5(s)}$ from the following data:
$2P_{(s)} + 3Cl_{2(g)} \to 2PCl_{3(l)}; \Delta H_1 = -151.8 \ kcal$
$PCl_{3(l)} + Cl_{2(g)} \to PCl_{5(s)}; \Delta H_2 = -32.8 \ kcal$
Determine the enthalpy of formation for $PCl_{5(s)}$ in $kcal$.

On the basis of the following reactions,which one is correct?
