Problem


In the problem below, X, Y, and Z represent the symbols of three unknown elements. The following list gives the bond strengths of three diatomic molecules associated with the unknown elements X, Y, and Z at 25 degrees C:


X2 = 74.0 kcal/mole      Y2 = 77.0 kcal/mole      XY = 87.0 kcal/mole.


Based on this bond strength information, calculate the value of Q in the following thermochemical equation:


2 XY (g) ---> X2 (g) + Y2 (g) Q = ? kcal @ 25 degrees C
