how to calculate the enthalpy of formation of HCL, the bond enthalpy of H-H ,CL-CL, and HCL bonds are 435,243and 431KJ.respectively?
The chemical reaction of the formation of HCl can be written as ,
  H2   +Cl2  ___________> 2HCl
Enthalpy of formation =  bond enthalpy of products  -bond enthalpy of reactants 
                                    =   2  x  431  -(435   +243  )
                                    =   862   -678
                                     =   190
