Chapter 5, Problem 5.23P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The $\text{Δ}H°$ value of the given reaction is to be estimated.

Concept introduction:

The bond dissociation energy is denoted by $\text{Δ}\text{H}°$. It is the energy required to break the bond between two atoms in the chemical reaction. In other words, it describes the strength of a bond in the chemical reaction. The breaking of a bond takes place by the absorption of energy.
