The enthalpy change at $298 \ K$ for the decomposition of water is given in the following two steps:
Step $I$: $H_2O_{(g)} \to H_{(g)} + OH_{(g)}$; $\Delta H = 498 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
Step $II$: $OH_{(g)} \to H_{(g)} + O_{(g)}$; $\Delta H = 428 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
The average bond enthalpy of the $O-H$ bond is $.... \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$

  • A
    $498$
  • B
    $463$
  • C
    $428$
