Consider the reaction X2( g)------->2 X( g). When a vessel initially containing 755 torr of X2 comes to equilibrium at 298 K, the equilibrium partial pressure of X is 103 torr. The same reaction is repeated with an initial partial pressure of 748 torr of X2 at 755 K; the equilibrium partial pressure of X is 532 torr. Find ΔH° for the reaction.
