To calculate the total bond energy in the products of the reaction \( \text{H}_2 + \text{I}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{HI} \), we need to consider the bond energy of the products, which are 2 moles of hydroiodic acid (HI).
The bond energy of HI is given as 297 kJ/mol. Since the reaction produces 2 moles of HI, we multiply the bond energy of one mole by 2:
\[ \text{Total bond energy in products} = 2 \times \text{Bond energy of HI} = 2 \times 297 , \text{kJ/mol} = 594 , \text{kJ/mol} \]
Therefore, the total bond energy in the products of the reaction is 594 kJ/mol.
