1/2 H2(g) ➞ H(g) ∆H = 218 kJ mol-1.In this reaction, ∆H will be called:

Correct answer: A. Enthalpy of atomization

  • A. Enthalpy of atomization
  • B. Enthalpy of decomposition
  • C. Enthalpy formation
  • D. Enthalpy of the dissociation

Explanation

Enthalpy change of atomisation is when one mole of a gaseous atom is formed from its element in its standard state, under standard conditions. According to the equation above one mole of hydrogen atom is formed from its diatomic form in its gaseous state.
