Using the average bond enthalpies (kJ mol\(^{-1}\)): \(\mathrm{H-H}=436\), \(\mathrm{Cl-Cl}=243\), \(\mathrm{H-Cl}=432\), \(\mathrm{O=O}=498\), \(\mathrm{O-H}=463\), \(\mathrm{Cl-O}=204\). (a) Calculate the enthalpy change \(\Delta H\) for the reaction \(\mathrm{H_2 + Cl_2 \rightarrow 2\,HCl}\). (b) Calculate \(\Delta H\) for the reaction \(\mathrm{H_2 + \tfrac{1}{2}O_2 \rightarrow H_2O}\). (c) Which reaction releases more energy per mole of \(\mathrm{H_2}\) consumed, and by how much (kJ mol\(^{-1}\))?
