Question

Suppose there is an element X which occurs naturally as X2(g).

X2(g) + 2O2(g) → X2O4(g)

ΔHof of O(g) is 249 kJ/mol
ΔHof of X(g) is 458.5 kJ/mol
ΔHof of X2O4(g) is 31 kJ/mol
The X-X single bond energy is 116 kJ/mol

Use the above data to estimate the average  bond energy in X2O4.

Give your answer to the nearest 1 kJ/mol.
