(B) One mole of acetone requires less heat to vaporise than $1$ mole of water.
Enthalpy of vaporisation is the amount of energy required to vaporise one mole of a liquid at constant temperature and pressure.
Since water requires more heat for vaporisation,it has a higher enthalpy of vaporisation compared to acetone.
This can be represented as $(\Delta H_{vap})_{water} > (\Delta H_{vap})_{acetone}$.

Given $H_{2(g)} + Cl_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2HCl_{(g)}$; $\Delta H = -44 \, Kcal$ and $2Na_{(s)} + 2HCl_{(g)} \rightarrow 2NaCl_{(s)} + H_{2(g)}$; $\Delta H = -152 \, Kcal$,calculate $\Delta H$ for the reaction $Na_{(s)} + 0.5 Cl_{2(g)} \rightarrow NaCl_{(s)}$ in $Kcal$.

Given that $\Delta H_f(H) = 218 \ kJ/mol$,express the $H-H$ bond energy in $kcal/mol$.

Assertion $(A)$: Formation of $H_2O_{(\ell)}$ from $H_{2(g)}$ and $O_{2(g)}$ is more exothermic than formation of $H_2O_{(g)}$ from $H_{2(g)}$ and $O_{2(g)}$.
Reason $(R)$: $H_2O_{(\ell)}$ has more attraction force than $H_2O_{(g)}$ and it is more stable than $H_2O_{(g)}$.
