Chapter 15: Problem 23
The enthalpy of dissociation of hydrogen bonds, \(\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{HBand}}\) is a measure of their strength. Explain the trend seen in the data for the following pure substances, which were measured in the gas phase: \(\begin{array}{llll}\text { Substance } & \mathrm{NH}_{3} & \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} & \mathrm{HF} \\ \Delta H_{\mathrm{HBand}}\left\langle\mathrm{kJ} \cdot \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\right\rangle & 17 & 25 & 29\end{array}\)
