What is the bond enthalpy of Xe–F bond?
\(\begin{array}{r} \mathrm{XeF}_{4} \rightarrow \mathrm{Xe}^{+}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{F}^{-}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{F}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{F}(\mathrm{~g}) ; \\ \Delta_{1} \mathrm{H}=292 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{mol} \end{array}\) 
Given: Ionization energy of Xe = 279 kcal/mol
B.E. (F–F) = 38 kcal/mol,
Electron affinity of F = 85 kcal/mol
  1. 24 kcal/mol
  2. 34 kcal/mol
  3. 8.5 kcal/mol
  4. None of these

Answer

(B) 34 kcal/mol
