As we learnt in

Bond dissociation enthalpy -

It is the average of enthalpy required to dissociate the said bond present in different gaseous compound in to free atoms in gaseous state.

- wherein

N_{2}+Bond\, Energy\rightarrow 2N

 

 

Enthalpy of Hydration -

Amount of enthalpy evolved during hydration of 1 mole anhydrous compound.

- wherein

CuSO_{4(s)}+5H_{2}O\rightarrow CuSO_{4}\cdot 5H_{2}O+ \Delta H

 

 The energy involved in the conversion of \frac{1}{2}Cl_{2}(g) to Cl^{-1}(aq) is given

\Delta H=\frac{1}{2}\Delta_{diss}H_{Cl_{2}}^{(-1)}+\Delta _{eg}H_{Cl}^{(-1)}+\Delta _{hyd}H_{Cl}^{(-1)}

Substituting various values from given data

\Delta H=(\frac{1}{2}\times240)+(-349)+(-381)\:kJmol^{-1}\\=(120-349-381)=\:-610kJmol^{-1}


Option 1)

+120 kJ mol-1

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

+152 kJ mol-1

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

-610 kJ mol-1

This option is correct.

Option 4)

-850 kJ mol-1

This option is incorrect.
