Answer:
498 kj/mol
Explanation:
Chemical reactions occur as a result of bond breaking and bond formation.
The bonds in reactants are broken and atoms are rearranged to form new bonds.
During bond breaking energy is absorbed to break the bonds of reactants while bond formation involves the release of energy during the formation of new bonds.
In our case;
In 1 mole of the Oxygen molecule, there is one O=O bond
Energy absorbed to break O=O is 498 kJ/mol
Therefore, the ΔH required to break all the bonds in one mole of Oxygen(O₂) molecules is 498kJ/mol.
Note that, bond breaking is endothermic since energy is absorbed from the surroundings.
