Question
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) can decompose in the gas phase according to the following balanced equation:

2 HOCl(g)  ➔  2 HCl(g) + O2(g)              ΔH = -31.0 kJ (T = 298 K, P = 1 atm)

Using the enthalpy of this reaction and data in the following table, calculate the standard enthalpy of formation for HOCl(g).
 

 

Standard Enthalpy of Formation at 289 K

Substance Formula ΔH∘f(kJ/mol)ΔHf∘(kJ/mol)
Hydrogen bromide HBr(g) -36.26
Hydrogen chloride HCl(g) -92.30
Hydrogen fluoride HF(g) -268.60
Hydrogen iodide HI(g) 25.9
Methane CH4(g) -74.80
Water vapor H2O(g) -241.8
