In a hydrogen molecule, the two hydrogen atoms are held together by a single bond with a bond energy of 436 kJ/mol of hydrogen. In
other words, to break the H-H bonds in one mole of molecular hydrogen requires the expenditure of 436 kJ of energy. Using the
balanced chemical equation for the formation of water from oxygen and hydrogen (shown above), and interpreting the stoichiometric
coefficients as mole amounts, how much energy must be expended in breaking the H-H bonds?
kJ
